Who is the only First Lady to ever be featured on U S paper currency? Answer

Martha Washington holds the distinction of being the sole First Lady to have her image showcased on U.S. paper currency. Initially appearing on the $1 Silver Certificate in 1886 and 1891, she became the inaugural—and to date, the singular—woman to be portrayed on an officially issued banknote by the federal government. Subsequently, in 1896, Martha Washington was once again depicted on the $1 Silver Certificate, this time sharing the spotlight with her husband, George Washington, on the reverse side of the bill. These Silver Certificates, which were supported by the government’s silver reserves, were gradually phased out over the years, with the final series being issued in 1957.
