Treasury secretary won't commit to putting Harriet Tubman on $20 bill


Treasury Secretary Steve T. Mnunchin would not commit Thursday to following through on a plan to place former slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. “So the issues of why we change it will be primarily related to what we need to do for security purposes…. The new bill, which wasn’t set to be released until at least 2020, would feature Tubman on the front and Jackson on the back. "I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic, but I would love to leave Andrew Jackson or see if we can maybe come up with another denomination," Trump said at the time. lauren.rosenblatt@latimes.comALSOL.A.
