Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury was Salmon P. Chase, who served from 1861 to 1864. Chase played a crucial role in financing the Civil War and implementing a national banking system. He was instrumental in introducing the first income tax and the issuance of paper currency, known as "greenbacks." Chase later became Chief Justice of the United States after leaving the Treasury.
