US Banknotes

George Washington. Note that every modern US bill has identifying captions under the portrait on the front and the picture on the back.

Ben Franklin, one of our Founders but never a president, is on the $100.

Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill. Hamilton founded the First Bank of the U.S., an arm of the Treasury, while working for George Washington, but was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr.

If you want to go old-school, the no-longer produced (but still legal tender) $10,000 bill is faced by Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury. He invented the precursor to the IRS, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which started collecting taxes in 1862. After resigning in 1864, Lincoln made him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Other individuals who appeared on US paper money include Lewis and Clark, Samuel Morse, Martha Washington, Pocahontas, various military figures, and others.

Current circulating US Dollar coins have several portraits. The Native American series (2000-present) has a portrait is of Sacagawea, who was a guide to the Lewis & Clark expedition. The Presidential series (2007-present) depicts U.S. presidents in order of service, 4 portraits per year. These coins are made of brass.

Going backwards in time, the dollar designs are: * Susan B. Anthony : 1979-1981, 1999 (copper-nickel)

* Dwight D. Eisenhower : 1971-1978 (copper-nickel) * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Peace" dollars 1921-1935 (90% silver) * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Morgan" dollars 1878-1904, 1921 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Seated Liberty" dollars 1836-1873 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Draped Bust" dollars 1795-1804 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Flowing Hair" dollars 1794-1795 During 1873-1885 the Trade dollar was also made. These were minted for trade with other countries, and were not considered legal tender in the US, although many companies paid their workers with the coins. From 1849-1889 there were two different gold dollar coin designs made. The gold dollar was significantly smaller than the traditional silver dollar, so it was not quite as popular. Portraits were: * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : 1849-1854 * stylized portrait of a Native American Princess : 1854-1889 For more information, see the Related Link "CoinFacts: Silver Dollars" (which includes the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea designs, even though neither have been issued in silver) and "CoinFacts: Gold Dollars" to the right.

There is a Pyramid on the back of the 1 dollar bill and the Seal of the United States...durr.... and at the bottom on the pyramid there are some numbers. The numbers equal 1,151,176. Glad i can help. Not sure why that stuff is on there but its is. Kai Bai!

George Washington.

Note that all modern US currency has captions on each side that identify the person shown on the front and the scene depicted on the back.

A portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States, is on the front of the US $2 bill.

Note that every modern US bill has identifying captions under the portrait on the front and the picture on the back.

If there is a picture of Andrew Jackson on a US $10 bill, it is counterfeit. Andrew Jackson is on the US $20 bill. Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill.

==========

Actually Andrew Jackson's face appeared on the $10 bill for awhile. In the current series,

he was moved to the $20 bill, replacing Grover Cleveland. They kept the same portrait

of Jackson .

There were no federally-issued $100 bills dated 1864. You may have a privately issued bill or a "Confederate" $100 bill. If it's either of those please post a new question with more details. Use the Discussion section if needed.

I put "Confederate" in quotes because the vast majority of Confederate bills on the market are replicas or outright faces.

In 1862 the first one-dollar bill was issued as a Legal Tender Note (United States Note) with a portrait of Salmon P. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury under PresidentAbraham Lincoln.

In 1869 the $1 United States Note was redesigned with a portrait of George Washington in the center and a vignette of Christopher Columbus sighting land to the left. The obverse of the note also featured green and blue tinting. Although this note is technically a United States Note, TREASURY NOTE appeared on it instead of UNITED STATES NOTE.

Among currently circulating US currency, the only bills that do not have portraits of former Presidents on the front are the $10 bill (Alexander Hamilton, 1st Secretary of the Treasury) and the $100 bill (Benjamin Franklin, Diplomat and Signer of the Declaration of Independence). The $1, $2, $5, $20 and $50 bills all have portraits of former presidents.

Most US presidents have never appeared on paper currency.

However every US president except those still alive at the time have been or will be featured on the Presidential Dollar Coin series that began in 2007.

Washington's portrait didn't appear on federally-issued $1 bills until 1869, and the current portrait wasn't adopted until the early 20th century, many decades after his death.

Washington was strongly opposed to the portraits of any president, living or dead, being used on American coins and currency. He felt that it was too reminiscent of way most monarchies show the portrait of a king or queen. His favored depiction of Miss Liberty was the norm on nearly all coins for nearly 6 decades. It wasn't until 1909 when the first presidential portrait was used on a coin, the familiar Lincoln cent.

The nine presidents that are on US bills are George Washington ($1), Thomas Jefferson ($2), Abraham Lincoln ($5), Andrew Jackson ($20), Ulysses S. Grant ($50), William McKinley ($500), Grover Cleveland ($1,000), James Madison ($5,000), and Woodrow Wilson ($100,000). Non-presidents on US bills are Alexander Hamilton ($10) and Salmon P. Chase ($10,000).

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

Not "was", but "is" - his picture has been on the $2 bill since 1929.

According to the US Treasury web-site:

All denominations of paper currency notes printed since 1929 are the same size, measuring approximately 2.61 inches (6.63 centimeters) by 6.14 inches (15.60 centimeters). Each note weighs about one gram.

A Canadian $5 bill is 15cm wide and 7cm high

[object Object]

The largest denomination of US currency notes is.. $100

They are worth the total value of the bills:

2x$1=$2

2x$5=$10

2x$10=$20

2x$20=$40

2x$50=$100

2x$100=$200

6 1957A Silver Certificate Dollars with consecutive serial numbers in 'Crisp-Uncirculated' condition are worth $200.00. You could expect to receive about $50 for the set, if they will all grade GEM CU 65 Any more than that would require certification in grade SUP CU 67 or higher.

Whats the value of a 1935g one dollar bill with blue writing on it

It is worth exactly one fried egg

The U.S. did not issue bills with that date. The blue seal indicates that it is a silver certificate. These were issued with the dates 1928, 1934, 1935 and 1957.Ffor a full list of series letters and retail prices, go to:
