Which Presidents of the U.S. have their portraits on U.S. currency?

Molly B. writes: Hi! I was wondering if you could help me out with a school project. I’m trying to figure out which Presidents of the U.S. have had their portraits on U.S. currency. I know that there are supposedly 7 on paper and 6 on coins. Can you help me? Thanks.

I assume we’re talking about the small size currency beginning in 1928:

  1. $1 =George Washington
  2. $2= Thomas Jefferson
  3. $5= Abraham Lincoln
  4. $20=Andrew Jackson
  5. $50=Ulysses S. Grant
  6. $500=William McKinley( no longer made but legal tender)
  7. $1000=Grover Cleveland (no longer made but legal tender)
  8. $5000=James Madison (no longer made, rare, still legal tender)
  9. $100,000=Woodrow Wilson (1934 gold certificate)

On coins, the following Presidents are represented:


  1. .01=Abraham Lincoln (1909-)
  2. .05=Thomas Jefferson (1938-)
  3. .10=Franklin Roosevelt (1946-)
  4. .25=George Washington (1932-)
  5. .50=John F. Kennedy (1964-)
  6. 1.00=Dwight Eisenhower (1971-1978)

Why the 1953 $2 bill has a red sealWhat does it mean when a coin has a "reverse of a particular year"?
