Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said during a congressional hearing Wednesday that a redesign of the $20 bill to feature abolitionist hero Harriet Tubman would not be ready in time for a planned 2020 release. 

"The primary reason we've looked at redesigning the currency is for counterfeiting issues," Mnuchin said when asked by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., whether the new currency would be ready on time. "Based upon this, the $20 bill will now not come out until 2028. The $10 bill and the $50 bill will come out with new features beforehand.

"The ultimate decision on the redesign will most likely be another secretary's down the road." 

Mnuchin explained during his appearance before the House Financial Services Committee that his department would "meet the security feature redesign in 2020" but "the imagery feature will not be an issue that comes up until, most likely, 2026." 

After then-President Barrack Obama said he thought putting more women on U.S. currency was a "pretty good idea," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew asked for public comment about which woman should be added. 

They shouldn't have delayed this new bill.

I'd love to see a reporter ask Trump who Tubman is.

Quite the coincidence that the bill featuring a black woman is delayed while the two featuring white men are proceeding on schedule. Quite the coincidence.

Also, Jackson is Trump's favorite wannabe dictator.

Seems like the current security features have been working so why couldn't they use those?

“Hey boss you know that project I’ve been working on? I’m not gonna be able to make deadline.”

 

”That’s understandable. How much more time do you need?”

 

”8 years”

 

”WTF?”

So he just has no interest in redesigning the $20 bill beyond security features. 

 

These guys just act like they have no control over these decisions that they have complete control over.

Yeah, 8 years is the kind of deadline you hear for NASA projects, not rolling out a new $20 bill.

Trump’s so bad with money it’s not really fair to NASA to compare the two. A better comparison for how long the brain trust in the Trump administration could take to not fuck it up might more closely resemble the North Korea’s rocket program.

You know when watching the video. I couldn't help but think what about the Sacagawea $1 coin. Although I agree this delay is on purpose. Hell it is not a delay but a definite no I'm not doing it while I'm in office.
