The New York Times on Friday revealed a design of a new $20 bill adorned with former slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

Mnuchin drew scorn last month when he said the design was delayed for six years due to “technical reasons.”

But the Times was able to get a copy of the design—which Mnuchin had said couldn’t be done—directly from a source at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

The design, it reported, had actually been started during the Obama administration with no apparent technical difficulty.

Tubman would be the first African American to adorn U.S. currency and the delay drew disappointment and speculation that perhaps the Trump administration did not want to replace President Andrew Jackson on the popular note.

The Times reports officials past and present said Mnuchin opted for the delay out of fear President Trump would cancel the new Tubman bill outright and cause more controversy.

Remember when Steve Mnuchin told us the Harriet Tubman $20 would be delayed for 6 years for technical reasons and may never have her likeness? Well, here it is. We got a peek at the design, done in 2016! https://t.co/ketGMH2M1m

This week, Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, where Tubman was born, wrote a letter to Mnuchin urging him to find a way to speed up the process.

“I hope that you’ll reconsider your decision and instead join our efforts to promptly memorialize Tubman’s life and many achievements,” wrote Hogan, a Republican.

And last week, a group of House Democrats demanded that the Treasury secretary provide specific information about the security concerns that were impeding the currency redesign.

Let's be absolutely clear: Trump and Pence ordering Mnuchin to delay introduction of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill is purely an action motivated by white supremacy. It is white rage in action. That's all this is. pic.twitter.com/vfDSqgski2

At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which offers tours and an exhibit on the history of the currency, some visitors said they preferred tradition, while others were seeking change.

“For me, it’s not important enough to spend the money to change it,” said Jeff Dunyon, who was visiting Washington from Utah this week. “There are other ways to honor her.”
