Alexander Hamilton is out and a woman is in. But which woman will be the lucky gal to grace the new $10 dollar set to begin circulation in 2020?
A new McLatchy-Marist survey released Wednesday has former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt beating out Harriet Tubman, Amelia Airhart, and Sacagawea for the spot on the new currency.
Roosevelt secured 27 percent of the votes, with Tubman in her shadow capturing 17 percent.
But according to The Hill, the entire survey was only out of a pool of 1,259 respondents.
After Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced the impending change to the paper currency back in June, and the internet was quick to offer up their suggestions, ranging from Beyonce to Caitlyn Jenner.
In a shocking twist, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s suggestion was one of the more rational voices of reason, offering up Frances Perkins. Perkins was the first woman appointed to the President’s Cabinet. Which President? Franklin Roosevelt, husband of the apparent popular choice.
The lucky lady of the new $10 bill won’t be announced until later this year, but most Americans daily lives will not be disrupted by the news in the least, as they already can barely name who is on their money.
