Why do only 26 state names appear on the back of 5 dollar bill note?

The reason is because the image on the back is of the Lincoln Memorial, which itself displays the name of the 36 states which were states at the time Lincoln was President. Given that only the front of the building is visible, only the 26 states listed on the front can be seen.


What US bill has all of the states listed on the back?

No US bill lists all 50 states. You may be thinking of the image of the Lincoln Memorial that's been on on the back of the $5 bill since 1928.

Because the bill can only show one face of the building only 26 names are visible.

The back of a $5 bill shows either 26 or 27 states across the top of the Lincoln Memorial, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial, it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)

Why are there only 27 states on the back of a 5 bill?

According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there are only 26.If you think about it for a minute, the names of the states are engraved all the way around the top of the Lincoln Memorial. The back of a bill is a flat picture so it can only show one side of the building. The only way you could see all the way around it would be if the Treasury borrowed some of those moving paintings from Harry Potter's world!


Why are there states printed on the five dollar bill?

The back of a $5 bill has a picture of the Lincoln Memorial which has the names of all 48 states that existed at the time it was built, so of course the image on the $5 bill will show that as well. Of those, either 26 or 27 states are shown, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)
