But people familiar with the matter said new designs for the bills should be ready by 2020.

Sounds better in the original Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, Seminole, Cherokee. Chippewa, Ottawa, Muskogee and/or Potawatomi.

This is good news. A bit of a twofer, but at least it’s happening. So glad we’re finally breaking the "rule"of presidents and founding father on bills. Maybe we’ll even do what other countries do and issue anniversary bills. I’m still looking forward to seeing the Saturn V on a bill. Preferably a $5 bill.

Glad she’s making it onto the $20, pity they’re keeping Jackson on the bill.

I’ll happily adjust my referencing of US 20’s from “Jacksons” to “Tubmans”

I mean shit I already meant Samuel L Jackson anyway, and Harriet Tubman is a vast improvement on my internal improvement.
