汉密尔顿的头像从1929年开始出现在10美元纸币上。他和外交家、发明家本·富兰克林是仅有的两位没有出任美国总统却出现在美钞上的人物。
Women have been featured on US money before, but the notes and coins were not widely used. Most recently women's rights activist Susan B Anthony and Native American Sacagawea appeared on dollar coins, but both coins quickly went out circulation.
之前的美国货币上也出现过女性形象,但这些纸币和硬币并未得到广泛使用。最近的两次是女权主义活动家苏珊·安东尼和印第安人莎卡嘉薇亚,她们出现在一美元硬币上,但这些硬币很快就不再流通。
The primary goal of the redesign is to add measures to thwart counterfeiters, the Treasury Department said. But women's groups have recently pressed for more representation on US notes.
财政部表示,重新设计纸币的主要目的是为了加入防伪措施。但女性社团近期施加了更大压力,要求在纸币上出现更多女性形象。
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," said Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
财政部长雅各布·卢表示:“自从纸币首次进入流通以来,我们只对上面的头像做了少数几次改变。新的10美元将是一个多世纪以来首次出现女性头像的纸币,我对此感到骄傲。
