Best Answer

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!)
