Was Alexander Hamilton black?
No, and neither was Beethoven. This answer is incorrect Beethoven was indeed black.. historical accounts describe as such. As stated by " Frederick Hertz, German anthropologist, used these terms to describe him: "Negroid traits, dark skin, flat, thick nose." or Emil Ludwig, in his book "Beethoven," says: "His face reveals no trace of the German. He was so dark that people dubbed him Spagnol [dark-skinned]." There are several historical documents that clearly describe his as black.Yes Alexander Hamilton was black. Hamilton was born as the illegitimate son of Rachel Fawcett Lavien on a Carribean island the size of the town of Kirkland called Nevis. John Adams described him as a "creole bastard". Although James Hamilton was rumored to have been his father that is uncertain since his was legally married to another man at the time of his birth.

Were there any other writers of the Federalist Papers besides Hamilton and Madison and Jay?
No. Historians believe Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay were the only authors of the essays collected as the Federalist Papers. Other people undoubtedly wrote letters and essays supporting ratification of the Constitution, but their work does not appear in the Federalist Papers. There were also a number of men who wrote about the weaknesses of the Constitution and urged the States to reject it. Some of their writing corresponds directly to topics in the Federalist Papers and is loosely collected at the Anti-Federalist Papers.
Who was the first person featured on United States money?
The first person to appear on US currency was the allegorical representation of Liberty, who appeared on coins from 1792 until 1945 when she last appeared on the Mercury dime. Abraham Lincoln was the first real person to appear on regular US coinage, when the first Lincoln cents issued in 1909. The first person to appear on a US coin, however, was on a commemorative quarter, in 1893; it was Queen Isabella I of Spain. In 1900, the first representations of real men appeared, Washington and Lafayette on a commemorative dollar. The first paper currency issued by the United States Treasury Department was issued in 1861. This money is called "demand notes," and was issued in denominations of five, ten, and twenty dollars. The five dollar note has a picture of Alexander Hamilton and a picture of the statue of Columbia on the Capitol Building, the ten dollar note has a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and an allegorical female representation of Art. The twenty dollar note had only a picture of Liberty. The first (and only?) actual woman to appear on US paper money was Martha Washington, who was on a couple different types of dollar bills. The Sioux Chief Onepapa once appeared on a five dollar bill. It was a handsome portrait, though he was given a Pawnee headdress to for artistic reasons.

Which non-presidential faces appear on us bills?
Assuming that you are referring to portraits on currently produced US bills (and not, for example, all of the people depicted as signatories of the Declaration of Independence on the back of the $2 bill), the answer is 2 - Alexander Hamilton appears on the $10 bill and Benjamin Franklin appears on the $100 bill.When considering all US bills, the $10,000 bill produced from 1928 to 1946 has the portrait of Salmon P. Chase. Chase was Treasury Secretary under Abraham Lincoln and instituted the U.S. Treasury's first legal paper notes during the Civil War.
Which president's face is on the US 10 dollar bill?
There's no law or regulation that only presidents can appear on US coins or paper money. The current ten dollar bill depicts Alexander Hamilton. He was the first US Secretary of the Treasury but never served as president. The current $100 bill features Benjamin Franklin; he too was never president despite his numerous achievements as a Founding Father, diplomat, philosopher, and scientist. Before the current series of portraits became ossified in the 1920s, US bills featured many different individuals including cabinet members, military leaders, inventors, and first ladies.
Does all US currency have presidents' pictures?
Not at all. Among currently-printed bills, the $10 note has a picture of Alexander Hamilton who was the first Secretary of the Treasury while the $100 note has a picture of Founding Father Ben Franklin. In the past many other people who were not president have been depicted: Samuel Morse, Martha Washington, Lewis and Clark, Pocahontas, various cabinet officials, military leaders, etc. Despite popular belief, there's no law stating only presidents can appear on US currency. The only requirement is that the person or persons shown can no longer be living. Other than that, the choice is at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury. The predominant use of presidential images has simply been a matter of custom since the early 20th century.
Who determines the portraits and designs of us paper money?
The following is from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's FAQ page. The full page is linked below:Why were certain individuals chosen to be pictured on our paper currency?The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for the selection of the designs, including the portraits, which appear on paper currency. The July 11, 1862 Act of Congress provided:"That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and is hereby authorized, in case he shall think it expedient to procure said notes, or any part thereof, to be engraved, printed, and executed, in such form as he shall prescribe, at the Treasury Department in Washington, and under his direction; and he is hereby empowered to purchase and provide all machinery and materials, and to employ such persons and appoint such officers as may be necessary for this purpose."The portraits currently appearing on the various denominations of paper currency were adopted in 1929 when the size of the notes was reduced. Prior to the adoption of this smaller sized currency, a special committee was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to study this aspect of the design. It was determined that portraits of Presidents of the United States have a more permanent familiarity in the minds of the public than any others. This decision was somewhat altered by the Secretary of the Treasury to include Alexander Hamilton, who was the first Secretary of the Treasury; Salmon P. Chase, who was Secretary of the Treasury during the Civil War and is credited with promoting our National Banking System; and Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. All three of these statesmen were well known to the American public.Treasury Department records do not reveal the reason that portraits of these particular statesmen were chosen in preference to those of other persons of equal importance and prominence. By law, only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on U.S. currency and securities. Specifics concerning this law may be found under Unites States Code, Title 31, Section 5114(b).
