I did'nt think it had value over face because I have two one dollar bills and two five dollar bills like it. I was curious if this is the only treasure secretary that did this with their signature or not. I don't remember noticing it on any other notes, just his.

That's true, and a sad reality. I am probably one of the only gen z folks that write cursive. Out of my entire school, I think only my teachers and I write cursive. I only started doing it last year, but my handwriting has gotten so much better.
Many of all the very old records are in the cursive or older script. I do genealogy and look at very old records.
Yes, it's Mnuchin's signature- what about it? Through decades of different treasurers and treasury secretaries, there have been many signature variations. Mnuchin's is fairly neat, despite being in print.
That's really good! As I say, cursive is becoming a lost art in my opinion, not that it's necessary but it is certainly very good to know and practice.
Back in the late 70s, I had to take a technical drawing class as part of the Industrial Arts requirements in Jr High School (in the days before CAD). I loved the drafting style of printing and enjoyed doing the lettering on my drawings. At the time cursive was the norm, but from then on, I quit using cursive and went to printing exclusively. Other than my signature, I’ve been printing for over 40 years, so I have no problem if cursive disappears. Just my opinion As part of my job, I have to approve spec changes. This used to require a hand signed copy, but we began to allow electronic sigs about a year ago. This really took off during Covid, so nearly all of my sign offs are done electronically. I'm sure that's happening elsewhere as well, so that's another potential nail in the cursive coffin.
And all this time I thought it was only millennials that were techies. I was taught to do all three print, cursive, and tech. Thanks for the post.
