If anyone deserves to be on U.S. currency, it is Hamilton. Original advocate for a national treasury and currency. Replacing him on the $10 would have been a mistake.
But replacing Jackson with Tubman on the $20 is brilliant justice. A slave owner replaced with a slave. The $20 just went way up in value, with none of the negative side effects of inflation.
Hats off to Jack Lew. Brilliant move.
