U.S. treasury officials on Wednesday announced that the redesigned $10 bill will feature a woman alongside Alexander Hamilton.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will announce his selection for who will be featured on the new $10 bill later this year, with the new note to be unveiled in 2020, according the Department of the Treasury.
It has not been determined when the new note will actually enter circulation.
The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. In keeping with that theme, the treasury department said the new $10 note “should feature a woman who was a champion for our inclusive democracy.”
