When Treasury Steve Mnuchin announced that the Harriet Tubman $20 bill was going to be delayed the shouts came again.
Both President Donald Trump and Mnuchin were accused of being racists and delaying the issuing of the new note due to racism.
But a new report by The Washington Post found that it was the Obama administration who knew that it was going to have to be delayed.
“A confidential 2013 report by the Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence committee, an interagency group that oversees the redesign of U.S. currency, said the $20 bill would not enter circulation until 2030, similar to the timeline announced by the Trump administration…” the Post said.
