Lawmakers renew call to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
Harriet Tubman, noted abolitionist and celebrated Civil War spy, might be closer to getting on the $20 bill if renewed congressional efforts are successful.
Former Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced plans for Tubman to replace President Jackson on the $20 bill in 2016 as part of an effort to get more women on U.S. currency. The plan was set to go into effect in 2020. In 2017, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC,"Ultimately, we will be looking at this issue. It's not something I'm focused on at the moment."
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., introduced the measure in the Senate this March and the bill is before the Financial Services Committee in the House.
