WASHINGTON (WNB) - The United States Treasury on Thursday unveiled the final design for the new $20 bill featuring abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
"In order to present this wonderful lady in the best possible light, the decision was made to portray Mrs. Tubman in her prime," said Treasury spokesman Martha Johnson. "Not only was she a strong woman, but very beautiful, too."
The new bill is expected to go into circulation in early 2017.
