In 1862, the Secretary of the Treasury was assigned the task to assign the faces to go on the bills, the only requirement was the person had to be dead. No reason was given for Jackson, but it may have been for irony. Jackson distrusted paper money, and even cautioned citizens about it in his farewell speech.
