Goodbye, Alexander Hamilton. Hello... Kim Kardashian?
Just kidding. We sincerely, sincerely hope.
But the United States Treasury Department is set to make a bombshell announcement on Thursday afternoon:
A woman will replace Hamilton as the face of the $10 bill.
"America's currency is a way for our nation to make a statement about who we are and what we stand for. Our paper bills - and the images of great American leaders and symbols they depict—have long been a way for us to honor our past and express our values," Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a statement.
He added:
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman."
A nation now waits to see who this woman will be.
Perhaps Caitlyn Jenner, in a truly progressive step?
Okay, probably not.
Among actual rumored possibilities are Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Wilma Mankiller.
The new $10 bill will be released in 2020, a century after the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.
Who do YOU think should take over for Hamilton?
