On The Money

with Ellen Feingold and Rosie Rios

A look at the portraits we carry around like tiny history lessons in our pockets, and the landmark decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Curator and author Ellen Feingold takes us on a whirlwind tour of earlier designs, including grand landscapes, piles of bunnies and Washington in a toga. Then former Treasurer Rosie Rios brings us up to speed on her campaign to include Tubman and many more women on our currency.
