By Law Only Dead People Can Occur On Currency In The US.
Queen Elizabeth has her face on currency in over 35 countries. But you’ll never find an alive person on a U.S. dollar bill, that’s a fact. Congress enacted a law in 1866 that states it is unpatriotic for an alive American to have his likeness used on currency. George Washington was the first to turn down the opportunity to have his mug on money. He turned down the silver dollar bill, but later his face was placed on the quarter and the one-dollar bill.
