Alexander Hamilton will stay on the front of the $10 bill, and Harriet Tubman will boot Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill, a source tells CNN.
 
The announcement is expected to come later Wednesday from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who will also reveal that a montage of leaders from the women's suffrage movement will be added to the back of the $10 bill. 4951

I say swap people out every 10 years or so. Except George Washington. Let the people vote on it. I would like to see people other than just political figures. Stamps do it.  4951

So, they are spending taxpayer money to change the design of a piece of money to make blacks and women feel good about themselves? They need this to boost their egos?  Won't it be disrespecting their newest idol when druggies roll it into a tube to snort drugs or someone stores the bills in their nasty, smelly, sweaty shoes? But, yes, by all means, lets put a black woman, on a bill to satisfy the egos of blacks & women - because they are not equal to men until this is done!!!  BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4951

No worries, in the time it'll take to include Tubman's photo, paper money will be obsolete. Also, pennies will be gone, too. 4951

The only parts of a bill I look at are the corners for the numbers. They can put Stalin on there for all I care. 4951

Money has only one meaning to me.,, it's a tool to surviving.
It definitely is not something I'm going to hang on the wall as a form of art.
Spending additional money to produce currency at a time when the government is ready in debt is just plain Stupid.
It's like sending out mail to tell me the post office is disfunctional. 4951

Agree, nobody cares about it. Most could not tell you who is on the money anyway.   Just another waste of tax dollars. Print a stick man on it if it saves the most money. Who cares. Besides, who wants a righteous person's face being defaced snorting drugs, stuck in panties... 4951

I pay 99% with plastic anyway, just like everyone else.  Little effect on me, except I'm sad to see another longstanding traditional quashed by all things PC. 4951

@Zoey:  New paper money will come out faster than you think.  They are constantly printing new bills to replace old ones that are worn out (plus a little more to "help the economy" Emoticon )The penny should have been eliminated years ago.  It actually costs more than 1 cent to make a penny.  Round everything to the nearest nickle and be done with it.I agree about the pictures on the paper money.  I don't really care, but there are people who have provided much more service to their country than many of the presidents.  Just no one living and only people that have been dead 70 years or more.

they change money periodically. no big ******* deal. it wont really cost anything to replace the printing plates.they replace bills as they wear out.  i disagreed with the idea of replacing hamilton and  jackson is a much better figure to replace. the *****ing about having a black person  and a woman on a bill is silly because they did help build our country. it is not about boosting their egos. my preference for a new image on the bill was eleanor roosevelt, a person who did much for women, minorities and children her whole life. she was, in fact, the only person ever given a standing ovation for her accomplishments by the delegates to the united nations 4951
