A woman on the $10 bill, but who? Government wants your suggestions

 

The US Treasury Department is asking the public to submit suggestions for a woman to join Alexander Hamilton on the new $10 bill.
Suggestions and votes can be submitted on social media with the #TheNew10 hashtag or via a website, thenew10.treasury.gov.
The Treasury also released a video, in which government officials urge Americans to have their say. The video features Secretary of State John Kerry, United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power and Secretary of Labor Tom Perez.
“From activists to public servants, from scientists to explorers – who has made an impact on this country?” asks Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “Who has left the legacy of progress? Who has inspired you?”
