Which presidents are on your US dollar bills?

Answer 1

On currently circulating US federal reserve notes:

Washington is on the $1

Jefferson is on the $2

Lincoln is on the $5

Jackson is on the $20

Grant is on the $50

Previous issues contained many different presidents

Answer 2

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Jackson and Grant currently appear on bills (as do Hamilton and Franklin, neither of whom were actually presidents). It may be a little misleading to say that Jefferson is on a "current" bill... while the treasury regards the $2 bill as a current denomination and would happily print up a batch of them if demand required it, the last time any actually needed to be printed was in 2003.

The situation with coins is a little more difficult, because the Presidential $1 coin series means the answer is "all of them, eventually." For 2010, those featured on the dollar coin are Lincoln, Buchanan, Pierce, and Fillmore. Smaller denominations feature Lincoln, Jefferson, F. Roosevelt, and Kennedy.

Answer 3

The faces on current bills in the United States are: $1 - George Washington, 1st President of the United States $2 - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President $5 - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President $10 - Alexander Hamilton, 1st Secretary of the Treasury $20 - Andrew Jackson, 7th President $50 - Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President $100 - Benjamin Franklin, Diplomat and Signatory of the Declaration of Independence

Answer 4

$1 is George Washington
$2 is Thomas Jefferson (and yes there is a circulating $2 bill)
$5 is Abraham Lincoln
$10 is Alexander Hamilton (not a president, but the first Secretary of the Treasury)
$20 is Andrew Jackson
$50 is Ulysses S. Grant
And $100 is Benjamin Franklin (also never a president)

No US President is featured on the 100 dollar bill. Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the USA and one of the most famous Americans to impact the world, is featured on the 100 dollar bill. This is the largest denomination which is currently issued in the US. Benjamin Franklin’s image was first used in 1914 and the note was redesigned in 1996. Benjamin Franklin is known as an elder statesman and is the oldest revolutionary. He was responsible for the Declaration of Independence which he signed in 1776. He is often referred to as Mr. Electricity for his work and inventions of the lightning rod and Franklin stove, to name a few.
