Excerpted from Wikipedia...
"The Treasurer of the United States is the only position within the United States
Department of the Treasury older than the Department itself. It was established
on September 6, 1777.
The Treasurer was originally charged with the receipt and custody of government
funds, though many of these functions have been taken over by different bureaus
of the Department of the Treasury. Responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, the United States Mint, and the United States Savings
Bonds Division (now the Savings Bond Marketing Office within the Bureau of the
Public Debt) was assigned to the Treasurer in 1981. The Treasurer reports to the
Secretary of the Treasury through the Assistant Secretary (Management)/Chief
Financial Officer. The Treasurer's signature, along with the Treasury Secretary's,
must appear on Federal Reserve notes before they can become legal tender."
From the office's website... [Link] "In 2002, the Office of the Treasurer underwent
further reorganization. The Treasurer currently advises the Director of the Mint,
the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Deputy Secretary and
the Secretary on matters relating to coinage, currency and the production of other
instruments by the United States. The Treasurer also serves as one of the
Treasury Department's principal advisors and spokespersons in the area of
financial literacy and education."
