Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew announced on Wednesday that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing would replace the portrait of Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill in favor of one featuring both Hamilton and a woman to be named later.
"I'm proud to announce today that the new $10 bill will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," Lew said in a statement on YouTube. "This historic endeavour has been years in the making."
Lew will decide by the end of the year which woman will share the bill with Hamilton. The new version of the bill will appear in 2020, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which awarded women the right to vote.
