    Since 1969, the only bills printed have been the $1 (George Washington), $2 (Thomas Jefferson), $5 (Abraham Lincoln), $10 (Alexander Hamilton), $20 (Andrew Jackson), $50 (Ulysses S. Grant) and $100 (Benjamin Franklin).

    Someone will surely point out that Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin were not presidents, but the point being made is that the larger bills are no longer printed.


    "Although they are still technically legal tender in the United States, high-denomination bills were last printed in 1945 and officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, by the Federal Reserve System. The $5,000 and $10,000 effectively disappeared well before then: there are only about 200 $5,000 and 300 $10,000 bills known, of all series since 1861.

    Circulation of high-denomination bills was halted in 1969 by executive order of President Richard Nixon, in an effort to combat organized crime."

    Now when it comes to coins, the Lincoln penny, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, and Kennedy half-dollar are in circulation. The Eisenhower dollar is hard to find now.

    By the time the present commemorative run of Presidential Dollars is finished, ALL the dead ones will be on a coin.
