Yeah, I can see how we wouldn't want all those illegitimate tubmans diluting our pure pool of legal tender.
Like they did with the 20 - in 98, and again in 03
It was a high traffic note, it never made it more than a decade or so without redesigns. The current state is the longest it's ever gone without one - which is to say...they were going to release a new one anyway. If a person really cared, they could very easily find all the public documentation as to how tubman made it to candidacy.

- September 24, 1998: The Series 1996 $20 note was completely redesigned for the first time since 1929 to further deter counterfeiting; the picture of the White House was changed from the south side to the north side view. A larger, off-center portrait of Jackson was used on the front, and several anti-counterfeiting features were added, including color-shifting ink, microprinting, and a watermark. The plastic strip now reads "USA 20" and glows green under a black light.[9] The bills were first printed in June 1998.[10]
- October 9, 2003:[11] The current series of 20 dollar bills is released with light background shading in green and yellow, and no oval around Andrew Jackson's portrait (background images of eagles, etc. were also added to the front); the back is the same view of the White House, but without the oval around it. Ninety faint "20"s are scattered on the back in yellow as a "EURion constellation" to prevent photocopying. The first issue's series date is 2004 with Marin-Snow signatures. The bills were first printed in April 2003.
