Best Answer

As of 2016 two women have appeared on US paper currency. Martha Washington appeared on a $1 silver certificate in the 1880s and '90s, and Pocahontas was on the backside of a $20 bill issued during the 1860s.

If you include coins, three other women have been depicted: Susan B. Anthony on the ill-fated dollar coin of 1979-81 / 1999; Sacajawea on the current Native American dollar; and Helen Keller on the Alabama state quarter.
