Jack Lew nears decision to keep Hamilton on front of $10 bill, put a woman on the $20

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamilton's face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday.

Lew announced last summer that he was considering redesigning the $10 bill to include the portrait of a woman. The decision to make the historic change at the expense of Hamilton drew angry rebukes from fans of the former Treasury Secretary. The pro-Hamilton movement gained steam after the smash success of the hip-hop Broadway musical about his life this year.

Those pressures led Lew to determine that Hamilton should remain on the front of the bill. Instead, a mural-style depiction of the women's suffrage movement -- including images of leaders such as Susan B. Anthony -- will be featured on the back of the bill.

How come we haven’t put another famous general on a bill? LOL, Robert E Lee on the 20 with Traveler’s rear end on back side.

Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony (her coins aren’t even worth anything) ... let’s see two more cameos framed in a pentagon shape clustered around some Deludedminatti ovoid - oh yes! Typhoid Mary, and Mrs. O’Leary with cow in background.

And why would such a decision be made by the treasury secretary and not congress?

What if the treasury secretary decided to put Adolf Hitler on the 20 dollar bill?
