Design leaks for Harriet Tubman $20 bill

The preliminary design for an updated $20 bill featuring Harriet Tubman was leaked on Friday after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced last month that a redesign will be delayed until 2028.

An image of the new bill produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and obtained by the Times from a former Treasury Department official depicts Tubman in a dark coat with a wide collar and a white scarf.

The design was reportedly completed in late 2016. The Obama administration had set a 2020 deadline for finishing the design.

"The primary reason we’ve looked at redesigning the currency is for counterfeiting issues,” Mnuchin said in May. “Based upon this, the $20 bill will now not come out until 2028. The $10 and the $50 will come out with new features beforehand. Let me assure you, this speculation that we’ve slowed down the process is just not the case,” Mnuchin said.

Trump had suggested that Tubman could be featured on a new $2 bill.
