Jackson portrait on obverse $20 bill
Jackson
has appeared on U.S. banknotes as far back as 1869, and extending into the 21st century. His image has appeared on the $5, $10, $20, and $10,000 note. Most recently, his image has appeared on the U.S. $20 Federal reserve note beginning in 1928.
[11] In 2016,
Treasury Secretary
Jack Lew announced his goal that by 2020 an image of
Harriet Tubman would replace Jackson's depiction on the front side of the $20 banknote, and that an image of Jackson would be placed on the reverse side, though the final decision will be made by his successors.
[12]
Jackson has appeared on several postage stamps. He first appeared on an 1863 two-cent stamp, which is commonly referred to by collectors as the
Black Jack
Andrew Jackson is one of the few American presidents to appear on U.S. Postage more than the usual two or three times, appearing on at least twelve different issues as of 2023. The U.S. Post Office released a
postage stamp in his honor 18 years after his death, with the
issue of 1863 , a 2-cent black issue, commonly referred to by collectors as the '
Black Jack '.
[13] due to the large
portraiture of Jackson on its face printed in pitch black.
[14] During the
American Civil War , the Confederate government issued two
Confederate postage stamps bearing Jackson's portrait.
