Treasury Secretary Jack Lew won't be deciding which woman to feature on the next $10 dollar bill until 2016, after initially saying he would finalize a pick by the end of the year, a Treasury spokesperson tells CBS News.

"The public's input on redesigning our currency has been a valuable part of Secretary Lew's decision making process," the spokesperson told CBS News' Julianna Goldman. "As a result of the tremendous amount of engagement, we have many more ideas than we had originally anticipated. Therefore, we are taking additional time to carefully review and consider a range of options to honor the theme of democracy as well as the notable contributions women have made to our country."

[VanShuyten]

I’m still rooting for Ru Paul!

[Georgia Girl 2]

My vote goes to Aunt Esther. :-)

[snarkpup]

I voted for Ayn Rand.

[jneesy]

granny clampett

[Jakarta ex-pat]

How about Aunt Jemima?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bruce Jennings is the obvious choice.

I’m pushing for Grace Hopper, but I know we’ll get get some progressive activist bimbo instead of someone who actually achieved something.

“We’re looking to get a woman for a ten dollar bill.”
“Good luck with that!”

Caitlyn Jenner? But Ru Paul would hit two or three markers.

[onona]

Yeah, cause this stuff is REAL important

[C210N]

I’ll have to go with Linda Graham.

Since she might be very disappointed with the 2016 election results, consider it a consolation prize - “thank you for playing”.

[mkmensinger]

I figure Obama will choose Valerie Jarrett of Angela Davis.

[dfwgator]

I could go for Harriet Tubman, it would kill two birds (Black and Woman) and she did actually accomplish something.

[hulagirl]

What about Rachael Doeshetal (or however you spell the name of that white woman who thinks she’s black)

[Huskrrrr]

“Caitlyn Jenner?”

Then we could say “Queerer than a $10 bill.”

[choctaw man]

Esther Morris or Jeanette Rankin.

[Hoodat]

How about her?
