CONGRESS

CorrectionAccording to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, since 1862 the Secretary of the Treasury is by law "responsible for the selection of the designs, including the portraits, which appear on paper currency."

However the House Banking and Currency Committee has been known to involve itself indirectly in currency designs by proposing laws requiring certain designs appear - or not appear - on money. For example, lobbyists from the paper industry supported a bill, eventually passed into law, to prevent redesign of the $1 note.
