Could Harriet Tubman replace Andrew Jackson on $20 bills?

America's $20 facelift; Prince Charles's private letters and Peru's wildlife trade.

A grassroots campaign is pushing the US Department of the Treasury to put a woman on American currency. Private letters sent by the Prince of Wales to government ministers in the UK are published after a lengthy battle.
