First of all, I believe Wilson ended up on a $100,000 Treasury note of some kind. (Although it was not a dollar bill, so the point remains.)

As charming an article as this is, it contains one grave factual error:

Woodrow Wilson is indeed on a greenback. In fact, he’s on the biggest, baddest of them all: the $ 100,000 bill. Hence the term "Wilsonmobile" for a very expensive car.
