Appointed as Treasurer by U.S. President Richard M. Nixon as Dorothy Andrews Elston, she married Walter Kabis in 1970 and changed her name to Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis. She became the first (and so far) only treasurer to have their name changed while in office, an event significant given that the signature of both the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury appear on paper denominations of U.S. currency.

 

The resulting change in Kabis' signature appeared first on the Series 1969A one dollar bill, along with the signature of Secretary David Kennedy. All other denominations had Kabis' new signature along with Secretary John Connally's signature on Series 1969A
