Best Answer

He was a "founding father" and the first Secretary of the Treasury. He worked to have a national banking system.

Hamilton was never President, though. He and Benjamin Franklin are the only two people pictured on current American paper money who never served as President.

Uh,, please take a look at any US history book. Alexander Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury so he's as connected to American currency as anyone.

Of course Jefferson insisted that we adopt a decimal currency instead of the old 12/20 British system, so he gets some chops too.
