Sorry Mr. Jackson: Treasury to announce a woman to replace Andrew Jackson on $20 bill this week, while Alexander Hamilton will stay on $10 thanks to his popular Broadway musical

A woman representing the struggle for racial equality will replace Jackson

And a mural depicting women's suffrage will appear on the back of the $10

Exactly which woman will appear on the $20 bill is not yet known

But Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks have been selected in an unofficial poll

The rear of the $5 will also change, showing events at the Lincoln Memorial

The new $20 notes will not be issued until 2030 at the earliest

No US bills have featured a woman as a central image for over 100 years




Rather than removing Hamilton from the $10 bill, the rear of the note will instead feature a mural depicting women's suffrage.

And Jackson will be ousted in favor of a woman representing the fight for racial equality, the source said.

But don't expect to be trading in your old notes any time soon - creating a counterfeit-proof bank note requires input from the U.S. Secret Service, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve.

That means the new $20 note won't be issued until 2030 - at the earliest.

'The blue security ribbon on the $100 note took over 15 years to develop,' CNN's source said. 'This level of technology is why our counterfeiting remains at less than .01% of currency in circulation.

'We should not expedite the issuance of any currency for political purposes.'

As well as the $10 and $20 bills, the $5 bill will also see changes. Abraham Lincoln will remain on the front, but the rear will show a selection of notable historical moments that have taken place at the Lincoln Memorial.




No names for the $20 bill's new arrival have been given at this stage.

However, the website that hosted the original petition, Womenon20s.org, held a poll in which its users voted for Harriet Tubman, the 19th century ex-slave who risked her life to smuggle 300 other slaves to freedom, to take Jackson's place.

Another figure who made it to the final round of voting was Rosa Parks, who famously fought for an end to racial segregation.

Jackson was originally selected for replacement by the petition because of his Indian Removal Act, which forced Native Americans out of their territories, and led to the Trail of Tears.

US bills have not featured a woman as a central image since the first First Lady, Martha Washington, appeared on the $1 silver certificate from 1891-1896.
