Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said during the CNN debate Wednesday that she wouldn’t put a woman on the $10 bill.

Each candidate was asked who he or she would put on the $10 bill. President Obama’s administration announced that a woman would appear on the $10 bill, currently the note of Alexander Hamilton.

“I wouldn’t change the $10 bill or the $20 bill. I think honestly it’s a gesture. Don’t think it helps to change our history. What I would think is we ought to recognize that women are not a special interest group,” Fiorina said. “Women are the majority of this nation. We are half the potential of this nation. And this nation will be better off when every woman has the opportunity to live the life she chooses.”
