U.S. postpones new $20 bill with image of abolitionist

The redesigned bills are to feature Harriet Tubman, making her the first woman and the first African American to have her image on paper currency.

Tubman, born into slavery in Maryland, was known for setting up the so-called Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses helping black people flee slavery. The delay means the new bill will not be unveiled to coincide with next year’s 100th anniversary of the amendment that granted women the right to vote.

New security features will meet the 2020 deadline, but the change to feature Tubman will not, he said.
