The new image will replace that of Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Treasury Secretary, whose portrait has graced the $10 bill since the late 1920s. The redesigned currency will debut in time for the 100th anniversary of the formal ratification of the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced the plans for the new redesign Wednesday. Lew said the Treasury Department will launch a social media campaign dubbed "The New 10" to solicit ideas on whose portrait should be chosen for the new bill, along with a series of public meetings. He will reveal his decision sometime this year.

A woman's portrait has not been printed on U.S. paper money since 1896, when Martha Washington, the wife of the first U.S. president, was shown on a one dollar silver certificate.2020年,10美元鈔票上將出現一名著名美國女性的畫像。

新畫像將取代美國首任財政部長亞歷山大·漢密爾頓的畫像。自上世紀20年末以來,10美元鈔票上一直印有漢密爾頓的畫像。新版10美元鈔票將在賦予女性選舉權的憲法修正案正式通過100週年之際開始發行。

星期三,美國財政部長傑克·盧宣佈了這一計劃。他說,財政部將發起一個名爲“新10元”的社交媒體運動,並將舉行一系列公民會議,徵集人們的想法,以確定在新版10美元鈔票上印哪位女性的畫像。

1896年,美國首任總統的夫人瑪莎·華盛頓的畫像印在一美元銀圓券上,此後美元紙幣上再沒有出現過女性畫像。
