President Lincoln was on this $10 note during his lifetime. His Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase, also appears on the $1 note. Moreover, during the 1860s, there was also controversy surrounding the portrayal of living individuals on fractional currency notes. As a result, Congress passed a law that stated &quot;that no portrait or likeness of any living person hereafter engraved, shall be placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, fractional or postal currency of the United States.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
