Long before Harriet Tubman was in the conversation for the $20 bill, another woman made her mark on American currency—Martha Washington. In the late 1800s, she was featured on the $1 silver certificate, making her the only First Lady to grace U.S. paper money. While men have historically dominated currency, this small but significant moment reminds us that women’s influence is woven into the very fabric of the nation’s history. 💵✨

Martha Washington’s appearance on currency wasn’t just a decorative choice; it was a reflection of her role in shaping America’s early years. As the wife of the first U.S. president, she was an active participant in Revolutionary War efforts, managing the household economy, supporting troops, and influencing policy in ways that often went unrecognized. Though she wasn’t a politician, her impact on the country’s formation was undeniable. 👑

The conversation around representation on currency continues today, and while progress may seem slow, history teaches us that recognition matters. Squeem values the women who leave their mark, proving that style and substance go hand in hand. To our fans who embrace their own worth every day, you are the real treasures of history. ✨
