Say goodbye to Alexander Hamilton--the $10 bill is undergoing a redesign makeover as announced by Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, who will ultimately make the tough decision of which woman to feature on the bill. The redesigned bill will enter circulation in 2020 and will be the first paper currency to be adorned with a woman in over a century, notes ABC. The currency's debut will align with the 100th anniversary of allowing woman to vote with the passing of the 19th amendment.

Lew didn't disclose any information about which lucky lady or ladies will grace the bill, though the treasury is open to suggestions and mock designs to help his ultimate trying choice. Citizens can express their ideas via TheNew10.Treasury.Gov or Twitter by using the hashtag #TheNew10.

Not even president Barack Obama can surpass the Secretary on the face of the new bill--the decision sits with Lew alone. "Obviously, I share my views on a regular basis on a wide variety of issues with the president but it's my decision," Lew said, according to Rolling Stone.

Women on 20s, a grassroots campaign has been hoping to see a woman on a $20 bill but instead, the $10 bill will see a revamp due to a nine-year-old. Sofia wrote to the president last year, recommending that more women be seen on American currency along with a few suggested candidates. On Wednesday, U.S. treasurer Rosa Rios called and informed Sofia about the news.

In paper currency history, Martha Washington and Pocahontas are the only two females to be represented. Washington made her debut on the Silver Dollar certificate from 1891 to 1896 while Pocahontas was incorporated in a group shot on a mid-century $20. Numerous coins have featured women including Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea on a dollar coin as well as Helen Keller who appears on a quarter.
