Surprising People Who Have Appeared On US Currency

DeWitt Clinton

DeWitt Clinton is one of the great US politicians, and he served many roles within the government. He worked in the state and US Senate, served as the Governor of New York, and as the Mayor of New York City. His influence can be felt all through the state of New York, even to this day.

One of Clinton’s crowning achievements was the constriction of the Erie Canal that runs through New York City. For his achievements and legacy, a portrait of his likeness was featured on a $1000 bill of legal tender, and this can be viewed on the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s website.
