The U.S. Department of Treasury has announced that a woman will appear on the redesigned $10 bill, to be unveiled in 2020. Who that woman will be remains to be decided, but the Treasury Department is opening it up to the public for suggestions. The release of the new bill will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. It will be the first time that a woman has been featured on American paper currency since Martha Washington appeared more than a century ago. In the comments section, explain who you think should be on the new $10.
