This Sept. 21, 2011, memo posted on the White House website shows then-Office of Management and Budget director JackLew's signature.
Lews
nomination for treasury secretary means a new signature could soon be
coming to the dollar bill. Not that you'll be able to read it. Lews
signature starts off promising enough, with a soft J. But what
follows next are seven loopy scribbles, rendering his signature
completely illegible.
The treasury secretary's signature is emblazoned
in the lower right corner of U.S. dollar bills of all denominations. It
remains to be seen whether President Barack Obama will make Lew change up his signature or if the Senate will make it a condition of his confirmation.
