Think about it for a few seconds. The Lincoln Memorial has 4 sides but the picture on the back of a $5 bill is in 2 dimensions, not 3, so it can only show the parts of the Memorial that are visible from one side. The actual building shows all 48 states that existed at the time it was designed but you have to walk around to the other side to see them all.

The only way the picture could show all 4 sides would be if it were one of those moving images that Wizard printing uses in the Harry Potter stories, LOL!
