This week the U.S Treasury announced that in 2020 a woman will be the face of the new ten dollar bill -- and America gets to choose which one. For a majority vote the top picks are: Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sally Ride, and Oprah Winfrey.
Facts to note:
No living person can appear on the bill.
The 2020 anniversary of the ten dollar bill will also honor the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote.
The first woman to grace American currency was Pocahontas on a $20 note in 1865.
