There aren't any "requirements" other than being chosen.

The US Postal Service typically does not allow the depiction of living people on stamps, but as far as I'm aware the treasury doesn't have any such restrictions (or, for that matter, any restrictions at all) on currency.

In fact, some of the first US federal currency had the picture of the then-current Secretary of the Treasury on it. Lincoln also appeared on currency while he was still alive.

Current US paper currency features portraits of five former US presidents, but it also has Hamilton (on the $10), whose highest office was Secretary of the Treasury, and Franklin (on the $100), who was Postmaster-General (at the time a cabinet-level position).

Current US coinage features former presidents on the 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cent pieces, and a figure from american history who never held political office (Sacagawea) on the dollar coin. In the case of Sacagawea, it's more an informed representation than an actual portrait, since there are no known contemporary portraits of Sacagawea and a young Shoshone woman was chosen as the model for the design.

So having been president is definitely a way to get on the short list, though the Mint has ceased production of the presidential series of dollar coins so even that's no longer a sure thing

First, you must be dead. Living persons are not portrayed on US currency. Second, you will have been selected by the Dept of the Treasury.
