Last year the move to replace Jackson on the $20 with a woman was replaced with the decision to replace Hamilton on the $10 with a woman. Now, because of the success of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the hit Broadway musical“Hamilton,” said on Wednesday that he had received assurances from Jacob J. Lew, secretary of the Treasury, that admirers of Alexander Hamilton would not be disappointed by a forthcoming redesign of the $10 bill. The New York times discusses this in detail on in an article by Michael Paulson on March 16, 2006.
Of equal interest, and the source of the picture of Hamilton on this page, is this interesting biography of Hamilton from Chris Weller, Gus Lubin and Skye Gould on TechInsider.
Hamilton is important in many ways and has his finger on the pulse of the future economy of America. This is seen in his Report on Manufactures.
