Mary Ellen Withrow
Mary Ellen Hinamon Withrow (born October 2, 1930) was the 40th Treasurer of the United States from March 1, 1994 to January 20, 2001 under President Bill Clinton.
Withrow was one of the most visible Treasurers in recent history. She frequented coin and currency shows, autographing money (again) for anyone who asked. She was involved in the State Quarters project, the Sacagawea dollar coin project and the first issue of two dollar notes in nearly 20 years.
She also was Treasurer when the $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes were redesigned in the 1990s.
