2020年,10美元钞票上将出现一名著名美国女性的画像。

新画像将取代美国首任财政部长亚历山大·汉密尔顿的画像。自上世纪20年末以来,10美元钞票上一直印有汉密尔顿的画像。新版10美元钞票将在赋予女性选举权的宪法修正案正式通过100周年之际开始发行。

星期三,美国财政部长杰克·卢宣布了这一计划。他说,财政部将发起一个名为“新10元”的社交媒体运动,并将举行一系列公民会议,征集人们的想法,以确定在新版10美元钞票上印哪位女性的画像。

1896年,美国首任总统的夫人玛莎·华盛顿的画像印在一美元银圆券上,此后美元纸币上再没有出现过女性画像。

The U.S. $10 bill will feature the portrait of a notable U.S. woman by 2020.

The new image will replace that of Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Treasury Secretary, whose portrait has graced the $10 bill since the late 1920s. The redesigned currency will debut in time for the 100th anniversary of the formal ratification of the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced the plans for the new redesign Wednesday. Lew said the Treasury Department will launch a social media campaign dubbed "The New 10" to solicit ideas on whose portrait should be chosen for the new bill, along with a series of public meetings. He will reveal his decision sometime this year.

A woman's portrait has not been printed on U.S. paper money since 1896, when Martha Washington, the wife of the first U.S. president, was shown on a one dollar silver certificate.
