- List_of_people_on_United_States_banknotes abstract "United States banknotes depict, in individual portraits, 53 people central to the history of the United States. These historical figures include (but are not limited to) Presidents, Cabinet members, members of Congress, Founders, jurists, and military leaders. The Secretary of the Treasury was given broad latitude by Congress in 1862 to supervise the design, printing, and issue of United States banknotes. The Secretary, with input from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, was given final approval over the design of U.S. banknotes.The redesign of U.S. banknotes in 1928 prompted the Treasury Department to review the portraits on U.S. banknotes and conclude that “portraits of Presidents of the United States have a more permanent familiarity in the minds of the public than any others.” Exceptions were made for Alexander Hamilton, Salmon Chase, and Benjamin Franklin. Since the introduction of modern-era U.S. banknotes in 1928, there have not been any changes in the people depicted on currency intended for the general public. Although Woodrow Wilson was depicted on the 1934 $100,000 Gold Certificate, the note was only for internal Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank use.Five people have been depicted on United States currency (U.S. banknotes and Fractional currency) during their lifetime: 1) Abraham Lincoln on the 1861 $10 Demand Note; 2) Salmon Chase, Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury, approved his own portrait for the 1862 $1 Legal Tender Note; 3) Winfield Scott was depicted on Interest Bearing Notes during the early 1860s; 4) Francis Spinner and 5) Spencer Clark both approved the use of their own image on Fractional currency. In 1873, driven in large part by the actions of Spinner and Clark, Congress added specific direction to the selection process by including the following provision to govern the use of portraits: “No portrait shall be placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, fractional or postal currency of the United States, while the original of such portrait is living.”The engraved portraits are from a virtual exhibit of bank notes which are part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.".
