Amid Controversy, Alexander Hamilton Gets a Necktie
With Treasury Secretary Jack Lew planning to shrink Alexander Hamilton’s image on the $10 bill, opponents of the plan are making their feelings known in an interesting way.
The Wall Street Journal reports Van Eck Global is producing a necktie with Hamilton’s image, and is planning to send them to about 200 “prominent financiers who have come to Hamilton’s defense, including former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke.” Van Eck has a history of creating central-bank-themed ties, the Journal reports.
Lew is planning to shrink Hamilton’s image on the bill, and have him share the bill with the image of a yet-to-be named woman.
