Announcement of Susan B. Anthony on $10 bill

On April 20, 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department made a significant announcement regarding the redesign of the $10 bill. The new design will feature an image of Susan B. Anthony on the back, alongside other prominent women's rights activists including Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul. Initially, there was a plan to place a woman on the front of the $10 bill, with Anthony being a strong contender for that position. However, the final decision was made to keep Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, on the front of the bill. This redesign is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States. The new designs for the $5, $10, and $20 bills are set to be unveiled in 2020, marking a historic moment in recognizing women's contributions to American history and society.
