It is done as a security feature. By using different watermarks on different denominations it makes counterfeiting by bleaching low denomination bills an reprinting them as higher denominations impossible. If you see a bill with the wrong watermark for its denomination, reject it as it is a counterfeit. Banks also check this and report counterfeit bills.
