Only two current denominations feature non-presidents: Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin is on the $100.
Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase was on the $10,000 bill, which is no longer in use.
If you look at bills printed before US paper money was standardized in 1928, far more than four non-presidents appeared. Among them: Inventor Samuel Morse, explorers Lewis and Clark, First Lady Martha Washington, Chief Justice John Marshall, and many others.

The Treasury Department determines whose portraits appear on US currency, but they rarely provide specific information about their choices.
