12 Ideas For How They Could Put Alexander Hamilton And A Woman On The New $10 Bill

Which woman in U.S. history could the Treasury Department pick who’s most likely to produce videos of people lighting $10 bills on fire?

As you know by now, in 2020, the United States will put a woman on the $10 bill.

Why the Treasury Department is altering the $10, which features the father of the American financial system, rather than the $20, which features the administrator of the Trail of Tears, is unclear.

But it doesn't matter, because they are, and here are the rules:

1. A woman's getting be added to the $10.
2. Alexander Hamilton is staying on the bill.
3. The government does not put living people on money.

They didn't really give details on how exactly this will work. Presumably, the woman go on the front of the new bill, and Hamilton will go on the back or in a watermark, but who knows, maybe the disembodied heads of Alexander Hamilton, Margaret Sanger, and Ayn Rand, will float, side-by-side, like an ABBA album.

This is also unclear.

All we know is that Hamilton's staying, and a woman's joining him there, and they're going to pull that off somehow.
