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
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will announce this week that Alexander Hamilton will remain on the $10 bill and Andrew Jackson will be pushed off the $20 note in favor of a woman from American history, CNN said Saturday.
The announcement will come around a year after an online petition called for Jackson to be replaced with a woman, and ten months after Lew announced he wanted to replace Hamilton instead.
But support for the Founding Father to stay picked up steam thanks to the hit Broadway musical 'Hamilton', and now a government source tells CNN that Jackson will get the push instead.
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.
'We should not expedite the issuance of any currency for political purposes.'

I want to see Jimmie Walker on the $20 bill.

$20 today has the same buying power as $1.86 when I was born in 1947.
By the time I graduated from high school in 1965, it would take $2.65 to buy what takes $20 today.
By 2030, all transactions will be measured in the newly issued, gold backed Chinese Yuan.
I'd probably have voted for JQ Adams, but I'd rather have a drink with Jackson.
For a moment I first thought that was Benito Juarez!
