$10 bill design to be changed by 2020 to a female figure

So Hamilton is not going away, they are just going to print alternating bills like what we do with our coins.

probably, but that's less fun to argue about

"A decision on who the woman will be won't be made for several months."

I think it's pretty gimmicky and stuffty to choose the gender of the person before the person themselves.

I'm in complete agreement.

Pick a meritable person to put on the bill, and then do it. We'll notice that it's a woman.

Announcing they're planning to put a woman on it but not knowing who it will be turns it into a pandering token gesture.

I think that some degree of pandering is appropriate when it works to undo some of the injustices of the past. The US has had centuries to pick someone female to be on the dollar bill (and if it was fairly balanced between genders, they would have done it already), but whoever was in charge obviously didn't see any women meritorious enough to put on a bill.
