The Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Could Make An Early Debut

U.S. government officials say Treasury Secretary Jack Lew could release early images of redesigned $5, $10 and $20 bills in an effort to pressure the Trump Administration away from reversing their plans. But doing so, officials fear, could give counterfeiters a running start and could ultimately hurt plans to add a woman to front of the currency. The Treasury Department has not confirmed that there are any current plans to release early renderings of the design, but officials inside and out of the Obama Administration have said the decision is ultimately up to the Secretary.
