Three cheers for Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Broadway smash Hamilton.
I understand that he personally lobbied for this.
A Broadway play influencing keeping the $10 and changing the $20 instead is hogwash. Someone said ‘hey, let’s be more IN YOUR FACE and pick the bill dispensed by ATM’s, the $20!!!”. THIS is the reason they switched it to the $20, the $10 is more scarcely used in circulation.
