Have you ever paid attention to the two names inscribed on the bottom of our paper currency? The one on the left is the Treasurer of the United States (currently Anna Escobedo Cabral) and the one on the right is the Secretary of the Treasury (currently Henry M. Paulson).

Interesting note: Back in 1949, President Truman was feeling pressure to appoint a woman to a prominent political position. So he appointed Georgia Neese Clark as Treasurer. A woman has held the position ever since.

Very Interesting Note: Five of the past nine Treasurers have been Hispanic women. (Thanks to Tobygyn for the interesting trivia).

Update: Huh… according to Wikipedia, Ms. Cabral is in law school at George Mason.
