Keep Alexander Hamilton as the face of the $10 bill.

Created by R.C. on June 17, 2015

"Hamilton became a brilliant, self-taught economist. America needed him: its load of war debt was crushing. Appointed by President Washington to be the first Treasury Secretary in 1789, Hamilton solved the nation's debt problem and established a modern system of credit, over the bitter objections of less progressive opponents. By the time he retired in 1795, the United States, unlike most emerging nations, was fiscally sound, and poised to become a major financial power." -www.ala.org
Right now the U.S. government has plans to remove Alexander as the face of the $10 bill by 2020. Originally people had the idea that Andrew Jackson would be replaced on the $20. In respect to Mr. Hamilton's influence in shaping the United States into what it is today, keep him as the face of the $10 bill.
