In 1866, the U.S. Treasury issued a five-cent note with the portrait of Spencer Clark on it. This sparked controversy, because he was not liked by some members of Congress. Following this controversy, Congress passed a law on April 7, 1866, which prohibited the portrait or likeness of any living person on the country’s currency. This law still to this day prohibits using the portrait of any living people, and even commemorative coins of a past president cannot be issued until two years after the president’s death.
