Paper
currency is most often circulated in the following
denominations: $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.
Occasionally you will encounter a $2 bill. The
denomination of all currency is clearly marked
on the bottom of both sides of the bill, and on
all four corners. Some stores will not accept
bills larger than a $20. The $20 bill was recently
redesigned to make it more difficult to counterfeit,
so you will see both the new and old bills in
circulation. All currency is green and printed
using special paper. The slang term for a dollar
bill is a "buck", so $20 might be described
as "twenty bucks".
Each denomination includes a picture of a famous
American statesman on the front. The following
table describes the images on the various denominations.
