The change could happen as soon as 2020.
The announcement came via Nancy Lindborg, president of the US Institute of Peace, who tweeted out the news.
Sec Lew announced 2day historic decision to feature a woman on new 10 dollar bill. About time! Share ideas on who to feature #TheNewTen.

The IJ Review is reporting that Lindborg's tweet was premature.
France24 White House correspondent Philip Crowther is reporting that Lindborg broke an embargo on the news.

While it has yet to be announced who will grace the ten dollar bill, Lindborg invited people to sound off on Twitter with the hashtag #TheNewTen.
Harriet Tubman. Sojourner Truth. Amelia Earhart. Frances Perkins. That's my short list along with Dolly. #TheNewTen
