There’s a board of people who design our money, so they probably get to decide, but I’m sure it’s basically in order of the most popular and influential presidents in our history. But what I want to know is which president was on the five dollar bill before Lincoln entered office. Or were they still using British currency back then?

And who IS “they” anyway?! Yup, the folk who mint the money. Under “coins” it’s said the practice of putting dead presidents’ pictures on them began in 1909…

but you really should read this for yourself, and at better sites, like this one from the American Numismatic (coin) Association which also gives links to “related sites…”

or for pictures of the money, try the Smithsonian at
