United States Five Dollar Bill, Series 2021
This is a United States Five Dollar Federal Reserve Note, Series 2021, featuring a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. The bill exhibits characteristic green and black ink printing on an off-white paper stock, with subtle security features integrated throughout. Physical characteristics include a standard rectangular size for U.S. currency. On the obverse, Abraham Lincoln's portrait is prominently centered, flanked by the seals of the Federal Reserve Bank (green seal on the right) and the U.S. Treasury (black seal on the left). The serial number 'QH08181818A' is visible twice – once on the upper left and once on the lower right, with the 'H8' indicating the plate position and quadrant. Signatures of the Secretary of the Treasury and the U.S. Treasurer are present below Lincoln's portrait. The series date '2021' is clearly legible. The reverse displays a detailed engraving of the Lincoln Memorial with the phrase 'IN GOD WE TRUST' above it. Large numeral '5's are present in each corner, and a distinct purple '5' is located on the lower right of the reverse, indicating a more modern design feature. The bill appears to be in circulated condition, showing some signs of wear such as minor creases and softening of the paper, particularly visible at the folds, though no major tears, significant stains, or heavy damage are apparent. The colors remain generally vibrant, suggesting a moderate amount of circulation. The craftsmanship is consistent with official U.S. currency production, incorporating microprinting and other anti-counterfeiting measures. No unique or unusual aspects are immediately discernible beyond its status as a common circulating banknote.
