Interesting fact about US banknotes 💵

You will never see a portrait of a living person on American banknotes. Why? It's all about the law, which strictly prohibits the depiction of anyone who is still alive. This rule was established in order to avoid political controversies and possible idealization of current leaders.

💡 Who is depicted?

Only great historical figures, such as presidents and statesmen who left a significant mark on the history of the United States, appear on the banknotes. This symbolizes respect for their contribution and role in the creation of the country.
