Bill introduced in Senate to support placing a woman on $20 bill

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-New Hampshire) introduced a bill on Tuesday that supports efforts to place a woman on the $20 bill.

S.925 directs the Department of Treasury to create a citizens panel to recommend a woman for the bill. Shaheen said she was inspired to take action by the Women on 20s campaign.

“Our paper currency is an important part of our everyday lives and reflects our values, traditions and history as Americans,” Shaheen said in a press release. “It’s long overdue for that reflection to include the contributions of women. The incredible grassroots support for this idea shows that there’s strong support for a woman to be the new face of the twenty dollar bill.”
