Treasurer of the United States

The Treasurer of the United States (Treasurer of the United States) is a high-ranking posts in the Treasury of the United States. It was created in 1775, even before there was a finance minister.

Originally, the Treasurer was concerned with the management of state funds. Over time, fell the most of its tasks to other staff positions in the Ministry of Finance. In 1981, the Treasurer of the supervision of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was, the United States Mint and the United States Savings Bonds Division in charge. Following a major restructuring that was undertaken in 2001, treasurer now acts as a senior adviser for the directors of the United States Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Minister of Finance and his deputy in matters of coinage and the Währungspoilitik. The dollar bills are also signed by the respective treasurers next to the Minister of Finance.

When U.S. President Harry S. Truman in 1949 really wanted to nominate a woman for a high-level political position, he appointed Georgia Neese Clark to Treasurer of the United States. Since then, the Office has consistently been done by women. Six of the last ten office holders were Hispanics, including the office since 2009 Pink Gumataotao Rios.
