The E-Sylum: Volume 9, Number 53, December 31, 2006, Article 20 MORE QUIZ ANSWERS: FIRST LADIES ON U.S. MONEY Last week I asked two quiz questions relating to the U.S. Mint's new First Spouse Coin series: 1: when was the last time a President's spouse appeared on U.S. money? Answer: It's been over a century since the last time an image of a first lady has appeared on U.S money. Martha Washington appeared on a $1 silver certificate note in 1886. 2: which presidential spouse was never a First Lady? Answer: Thomas Jefferson's wife, Martha. She died in 1782, long before Jefferson become president in 1801. John Dannreuther adds another: "Jane Wyman was Ronald Reagan's first wife. She was never a first lady, of course, unless you consider her a "first leading lady" of the movies!"
