A spokesperson for Secretary Jack Lew released a statement about the meeting, saying (via NBCNews):
"The Secretary thanked Miranda for the ingenious way in which he has been able to tell Hamilton's story and ignite a renewed interest in one of our nation's founding fathers. Secretary Lew also reiterated his commitment to continue to honor Alexander Hamilton on the 10 dollar bill."
“We didn't talk about $20 at all. The secretary just said Ham fans'll be ‘very happy’ about the new $10.
