Woman on $10 bill
WASHINGTON — Harriet Tubman? Eleanor Roosevelt? Rosa Parks?
Speculation is rising over which American woman will be chosen to grace the $10 bill, which has featured Alexander Hamilton since 1929.
The answer will come sometime after summer, after Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew considers suggestions from anyone who wants to offer one — through town hall meetings or online.
Whoever is chosen by Lew will be the first woman to appear on U.S. paper currency in more than a century.
The bill’s actual design won’t be unveiled until 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
Treasury has created a website — www.thenew10.treasury.gov — for Americans to submit suggestions.
The public can propose both which woman should be chosen and which symbols of democracy should be included in the redesigned bill.
Comments can also be submitted on Twitter using the hashtag #TheNew10.
