What president is not on US paper money?

Answer 1

Ben Franklin, one of our Founders but never a president, is on the $100.

Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill. Hamilton founded the First Bank of the U.S., an arm of the Treasury, while working for George Washington, but was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr.

If you want to go old-school, the no-longer produced (but still legal tender) $10,000 bill is faced by Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury. He invented the precursor to the IRS, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which started collecting taxes in 1862. After resigning in 1864, Lincoln made him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Other individuals who appeared on US paper money include Lewis and Clark, Samuel Morse, Martha Washington, Pocahontas, various military figures, and others.

Answer 2

Former US Presidents are on all current coins, and on most US bills.

However, three bills, two of them currently printed, have other individuals.

The US $10 bill has the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the first US Secretary of the Treasury.

The US $100 bill has the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, a Founding Father and the first Postmaster General.

The US $10000 bill (the largest bill circulated, no longer printed but still legal tender) featured Salmon P. Chase(1808-1873) who had been a US Senator, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and a Secretary of the Treasury under Abraham Lincoln.

The Susan B. Anthony $1 coins were phased out, and the latest versions are the Presidential series (2009-2011 Sacajawea dollars are not being ordered for circulation.)

Answer 3

Current US Coins and bills have three non-presidents:

• Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill
• Alexander Hamilton ins on the $10 bill
• Sacajawea is on some $1 coins

Earlier Coins and Paper Money depicted a wide range of individuals who were never president, including:

• Salmon P. Chase
• Lewis and Clark
• Susan B. Anthony
• Samuel F. B. Morse
• Martha Washington

Contrary to common misunderstanding, NO law or other regulation restricts portraits to former Presidents; it's simply a custom that developed in the early 20th century.

Answer 4

Alexander Hamilton was not president and he is on the $10 bill....Hamilton was the president that should have been.

MoreBenjamin Franklin wasn't president and is on the $100 bill

To answer the question strictly as it's phrased, MOST US presidents aren't featured on current paper money. Only five are shown:

Washington ($1)

Jefferson ($2)

Lincoln ($5)

Jackson ($20)

Grant ($50)

Answer 5

That would be most of them. Currently, the only presidents who appear on currency are:

George Washington ($1), Thomas Jefferson ($2), Abraham Lincoln ($5), Andrew Jackson ($20), and Ulysses Grant ($50). Alexander Hamilton ($10) and Benjamin Franklin ($100) were never presidents.

In the past, there were larger bills, which featured some other presidents, such as the $500 with William McKinley, the $1,000 with Grover Cleveland, the $5,000 with James Madison, and the $100,000 with Woodrow Wilson.

Answer 6

Before Kennedy, Benjamin Franklin was on the half. Also, Sacagewea and Susan B. Anthony are currently on dollar coins.
