US Treasurer Rios to oversee town hall meeting on $10 bill redesign at Women's Hall of Fame
SENECA FALLS, N.Y. – U.S. Treasurer Rosie Rios plans to travel to the National Women's Hall of Fame in upstate New York to hear from the public about plans to put a woman on the $10 bill.
Rios is scheduled to be at a town hall meeting Monday in Seneca Falls, where the original 1848 Women's Rights Convention was held.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced in June that the $10 bill would be redesigned, with the portrait of Alexander Hamilton replaced with a woman. Lew says the agency has so far gotten more than a million responses to his request for comments.
Officials plan to make a decision by this fall with the total redesign completed by 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
