Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, is on the front of the current US $10 bill.

Hamilton is one of only 2 individuals on current US bills who was not a president. The other is Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill.

Despite popular misconceptions, there is no law or other regulation determining who can appear on US Coins or paper money. The only restriction is that no living person can be depicted. Before the current set of portraits was solidified back in 1928, many other people including cabinet secretaries, military leaders, inventors, and even first ladies appeared on US paper money.

Note there's a caption under the portraits of each bill identifying the person shown.
