As the Treasury Department ponders which American woman should be featured on the $10 bill, an abundance of ideas is delaying the decision until next year.
The department is taking additional time to consider a range of options after receiving more suggestions than originally expected, the Treasury said Friday in an e-mailed statement. Secretary Jacob Lew is now expected to announce the choice in 2016.
