How did George Washington picture come to be used on the quarter and the one dollar bill?

Answer 1

/* It because he was the first president ever and they had a vote to see if his face should be on the dollar bill and the quarter. */

CORRECTION

Washington's picture wasn't chosen by a vote. The Treasury put his image on many of the earliest bills issued just after the Civil War, as a way to honor the first president. His portrait was on many denominations but finally was put permanently on the $1 bill starting in 1923.

The familiar quarter was created by the Mint. It was supposed to be a 1-year commemorative coin honoring his bicentennial in 1932; the Standing Liberty design was planned to resume in 1933 or 1934. However the new coins were so popular that the Washington design was continued and, like the bill, became permanent.
