Alexander Hamilton is making a play to stay on the $10 bill. 
 
 Well, actually it's Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the Broadway smash hit musical “Hamilton,” who hinted on Wednesday that there might be good news coming for supporters of the nation's first Treasury secretary who have been pushing for Hamliton to remain on the revamped $10 bill.

 "[Treasury Secretary] told me 'you're going to be very happy,'” Miranda tweeted on Wednesday, adding, "#wegetthejobdone." 
 
 Miranda, who plays Hamilton, was responding to a Twitter query asking him to use his sway with Lew to keep Hamilton on the bill and instead move Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill instead. 
 
 The Treasury Department is soon expected to unveil the long-awaited and hotly debated redesign of the $10 bill that will add a historically significant American woman to the nation's paper currency. 
 
 Miranda and the cast of "Hamilton" were in Washington to perform several of their most popular hip-hop inspired songs for President Obama and Michelle Obama Michelle ObamaPrince William to host Obamas at palace dinner Obamas release 2015 tax returns Clinton: 'My heart aches’ for girls Boko Haram abducted MORE on Monday at the White House. 
 
 As part of the trip, and in between East Wing rehearsals, Lew gave Miranda a closer look around the Treasury building. 
 
 The pair took several photos together — posted by Treasury — including one in front of the Hamilton statue that stands tall at the corner of 15th St. and Pennsylvania Avenue. 
 
 Miranda got a shot of Lew — a big fan of "Hamilton" who has seen the musical in New York — posing by the Founding Father's portrait that adorns his Treasury building office. 
 
 The Broadway star also attended a press conference Tuesday on Capitol Hill in support of plans to help Puerto Rico deal with an ongoing debt crisis. 
 
 Since Lew first announced last summer changes to the $10 bill, he has tried to calm concerns that Hamilton get pushed off the currency. 
 
 “So people, you know, should never have been worried that we were going to do anything that would be to erase that memory,” Lew said recently. 
 
 Lew has pointed out that the bill has two sides, leaving room for Hamilton and another honored occupant. 
 
 Treasury has received more than 1.5 million suggestions via social media, letters and emails on how to redesign the bill, which forced the department to delay a planned announcement in December. ||||| Washington has met its match in musical theater. 
 
 Alexander Hamilton will continue to be “honored” on the $10 bill, partly thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton.” In addition to freestyle rapping with President Obama in the Rose Garden and performing with the cast at the White House, Miranda met with Secretary Treasury Jack Lew this week to discuss Hamilton’s legacy.

 Just what “happy” means is unclear. The Treasury Department said nine months ago that it would keep Hamilton’s image on the $10 bill as part of a redesign that would feature a woman, and that one of the options could include producing two bills. The new bills are to be in circulation starting in 2020. 
 
 Lew gave Miranda a tour of Hamilton’s portraits and possessions at the Treasury Department on Monday and thanked Miranda for creating the musical. “Secretary Lew also reiterated his commitment to continue to honor Alexander Hamilton on the 10 dollar bill,” a Treasury spokesperson said, but offered no details. 
 
 The Treasury Department’s June announcement had been met with uproar from fans of the musical as well as those who wanted to see Andrew Jackson displaced from the $20 instead. 
 
 Hamilton, who served in the Revolutionary War under George Washington, opposed slavery, was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers that argued in favor of a stronger central government, and became the country’s first treasury secretary and set up the U.S. banking system when Washington became president. 
 
 Jackson, the seventh U.S. president, was a slave owner and is criticized, among other things, for forcibly removing Indians from their tribal lands through the Indian Removal Act and what became known as the Trail of Tears, which sent tribes in the southeastern U.S. to “Indian territory” in what is now Oklahoma.

 But what Hamilton staying put could mean for Jackson — who has his own Broadway musical, called “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” — is unclear. 
 
 We didn't talk about $20 at all. The secretary just said Ham fans'll be "very happy" about the new $10.#Ham4Ham

 Still, Americans will continue to be able to gaze into the face of the first U.S. Treasury secretary as they count out the stacks of $10s needed to get into “the room where it happens” — the show itself, where tickets can run into the hundreds of dollars.

 So give your regards to Broadway, America.
– Fans of Alexander Hamilton need not fear a new design for the $10 bill. Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of Broadway musical Hamilton, says Treasury Secretary Jack Lew assured him during a Monday meeting that he is "going to be very happy" with the new bill design, to begin circulating in 2020, which will feature Hamilton and a historically significant American woman, per the New York Times and the Hill. A Treasury rep says Lew thanked Miranda for igniting "a renewed interest in one of our nation's founding fathers" and "reiterated his commitment to continue to honor Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill." Lew has previously hinted that Hamilton may take one side of the bill, while the woman may adorn the other. "Give your regards to Broadway, America," quips MarketWatch.
