Treasurer of the United States
The Treasurer of the United States is the only position within the United States Department of the Treasury older than the Department itself. It was established on September 6, 1777.
The Treasurer was originally charged with the receipt and custody of government funds, though many of these functions have been taken over by different bureaus of the Department of the Treasury. Responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the United States Mint, and the United States Savings Bonds Division (now the Savings Bond Marketing Office within the Bureau of the Public Debt ) was assigned to the Treasurer in 1981. The Treasurer reports to the Secretary of the Treasury through the Assistant Secretary (Management)/Chief Financial Officer.
The Treasurer's signature, along with the Treasury Secretary's, must appear on Federal Reserve notes before they can become legal tender.
In 1949, eager to appoint a woman to a prominent political position President Truman appointed Georgia Neese Clark Treasurer. Since then, every subsequent Treasurer has been a woman.
