Which Woman Should Be on $10 Bill?

Kate Scanlon / June 18, 2015

Alexander Hamilton may have served as the United States’ first secretary of the treasury, but the Treasury Department has decided to replace him on currency.

The Treasury has announced that a woman will be featured on a redesigned 10 dollar bill.

Secy Lew will choose a woman who was a champion for democracy in the U.S. on the redesigned $10 note. #TheNew10 http://t.co/NtwytsvHxC

They asked for suggestions as to which woman should be chosen.

This summer, tell us how #TheNew10 can best represent the values of our inclusive democracy and feature a woman. http://t.co/NtwytsvHxC

And Twitter obliged:

Not a fan of Hamilton, so glad he’s off the $10. Hope Susan B. Anthony replaces him. Champion of women & the unborn. http://t.co/FXVK2Zy2yf

Where do we choose who goes on the $10? Can I nominate Jeanette Rankin?

Would love to see Harriet Tubman recognized for what she did #TheNew10

I’m torn between whether #TheNew10 design for the new $10 bill should feature Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks. So cool it will be a woman!

Who would you like to see on #thenew10? Tubman, Stanton, Parks, Roosevelt, Mankiller? Make your voice heard! https://t.co/lhxlp73i3h

I say Geraldine Hoff, the women who inspired Rosie The Riveter . She symbolizes America’s drive to protect the world from tyrants. #TheNew10

It should be noted that there are currently women featured on U.S. currency in circulation; for example, Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony both appear on dollar coins.

According to PBS, Martha Washington and Pocahontas have also appeared on paper currency.
