MIAMI (CBSMiami) --  A woman is set to be the new face of the $10 bill, replacing Alexander Hamilton.

According to CNN.com, on Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew confirmed the new design will come out in 2020.

That's just in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment in the Constitution that gave women the right to vote.

While we know a woman will be featured, a decision has not been made as to who it will be and it won't be made for several months.

The public will also be included in the decision process.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury will launch a website and will use social media to get input on who it should be. The hashtag they will use is #TheNew10.

The last women featured on U.S. currency was Martha Washington on the $1 silver certificate in the 1800s.
