US Treasury decision on $10 bill will happen by end of year

Treasury officials are not saying which famous women are in the running to be placed on the $10 bill, but one senior official said Friday that many of the letters have included passionate arguments.

The official said that Treasury had gotten comments in support of a number of women who have played an important role in American history, going back to the founding of the country, ranging through the Civil War and up to the modern era.

Treasury is looking into replacing those buildings with more memorable images that would tell the story of American democracy in a more compelling way.
