Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Come 2020, Alexander Hamilton's face will be replaced by a woman's on the $10 bill.
The Treasury Department announced plans last week to redesign the $10 bill – and to put the portrait of a woman on a major paper currency. The public will participate in the process by submitting online suggestions. We’ll explore the debate about who deserves the honor – and why people feel strongly about currency design and what it says about the countries that use them.
Guests
- Ellen Feingold Curator, National Numismatic Collection at National Museum of American History
- Rosie Rios Treasurer of the United States
- Barbara Ortiz Howard Founder, Women on 20s
