According to a tweet posted by Nancy Lindborg, president of the Institute of Peace, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will make the announcement on Thursday. While there is no word on who, exactly, will appear on the bill, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing could begin printing the new currency as early as 2020.

The decision follows a recent push for the government to redesign the $20 bill, making the face of US currency more representative of the country’s demographics.
Alexander Hamilton, current face of the 10-note, was the first Secretary of the Treasury.
