The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Wednesday that, beginning in 2020, the $10 bill will be donning the face of a woman.
The denomination of the bill itself is a bit surprising—an April online petition voted that Harriet Tubman replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, after legislation was introduced to by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) to give the bill a feminine redesign—but the idea to put a woman's face on a paper bill is not a shockingly new one. According to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, the idea was being discussed before he took office in 2013, and that President Obama called it "a pretty good idea" last year.
The news broke early, after a tweet from the U.S. Institute of Peace's president Nancy Lindbord set off alarms.

Why not just create a new denomination? I've always thought a $25.00 note would make sense.
