Treasury secretary's wife Louise Linton raises eyebrows with latest photo-op
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is on the money, literally -- and his wife couldn't appear happier about it.
On Wednesday, the two took a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing along with U.S. Treasurer Jovita Carranza to witness firsthand the production of crisp, new $1 bills -- the first form of currency that will bear their signatures.
And, judging from the photos, Linton appeared excited about it.
In fact, very excited about it.
Naturally, the people of Twitter took notice of the photos of the happy couple and the newly printed cash.
