In this video we’re going to look at American currency. It’s really hard to counterfeit. Almost every single part of American currency is there to make it difficult to copy. The United States Department of Treasury spends billions each year producing it, and it is quite an elaborate process. Oh don’t get me wrong, many still try to counterfeit American currency, and in fact many are still successful. The Department of Treasury estimates that possibly $200 million in counterfeit bills are currently in circulation. That would mean that about 1 Federal Reserve Note out of every 4,000 out there right now is counterfeit.
Meh, almost every store would probably still accept it, anyway. After all, it got there in the first place.
But hold up. What about the people on this currency? Who ARE these people? Do they think they’re a big deal?
Why yes, they ARE a big deal. Most of them were American Presidents. However, others are just important people in American history, and some of them featured on different currencies over the years may surprise you. The Secretary of the Treasury is in charge of selecting people, and there’s no law saying that the people on the currency have to always be the same.
In this video, I’m looking at every person on American currency, and I’ll give some basic information about them, although I’m sure you’re already familiar with most of them.

[@bsanchez3563]

13:09 imho fwiw it is almost like a picture of cool scenery for some on the qaurter has a image of a cool place or park etc. So it is like a cool thing to collect for cool places one would go if they had a scenario which would mean being in walking distance of them each tbh just mho fwiw but yeah plus the designs are so neat.. and it is easier in case ones phone was run down or unabke to get reception etc. Fwiw.. also less costly to use cahs for they have in long run mucj higher expenses for using a card for some reason particularly credit as it is a cost that obviously would be passed on to the customer from a business.. so yeah but then sometimes it is far easier fwiw vs trynna pay over certain amounts I imagien fwiw without need for excessive or exceedingly large beyond the scope of maybe a 50 or a few if even that many.. plus never know if ya got migged itd be as good as gone fwiw.. plus then ya have nothing etc as far as on ones person is if well ig fwiw they could easily just as well fwiw take the phone lol idk facepalms..

Mr. Beat is also a big fricken deal in American history. 👍

[@xp_studios7804]

Mr Beat: Doesn't mention commemorative coins *angry coin collector noises* Seriously, great video, and the mint has slapped basically everyone on commemorative coins. Also, a Native American was on the Indian Head penny from 1859-1908 and Lady Liberty was on practically every denomination of coin in the 19th century. There have been plenty of women on American coins, they just aren't, uh, real.

Good points!

Before that, you had the peace dollar coin.

[@troodon1096]

He was on it from 1971 to 1978. Not counting the presidential dollar in 2015 he was also on. Also, the commemorative dollar he was on in 1990. And the 5-star general commemorative he was on in 2013. Hmm, he manages to get on $1 coins a lot, now that I think of it.

i’m so happy harriet tubman is going on the 20, she’s my favorite person in history. you’d think that after barely escaping slavery and reaching the north that’d be enough. no, her family was still in chains. okay but now that her family is free and she’s reunited with them- no. there were people still in bondage, people she didn’t even know. she selflessly risked her life nonstop. she didn’t rest until everyone was free. even after that, she continued to fight. then she dies in her nineties, in poverty, surrounded by her family, the kids of whom she freed. what a life, what a hero. she deserves this and so much more.

[@BogusmanTheSwagman]

I think it's weird that they used a photograph for Harriet Tubman instead of a painting but everyone else got a painting. Just makes that design stick out unnaturally.

[@hawks9142]

I thought he just did that for the video, it that actually the design?

[@hjag-is-also-ourplebop]

I personally like how quarters have different backs with different states on them - I got a West Virginia one today that had Harpers Ferry on the back with "John Brown's Fort" below it. The fact that I actually know why it has that on the back even though I'm from Illinois is surprising to me.

[@wubbers662]

I remember in economics class a few months back, we were asked if we had seen a 2$ bill, and I wrote down and said "Jefferson" since most of the questions (it was grade level stuff on the first day for some reason despite being a far more mature audience) were about who was on what dollar bill its basically an inside joke now

There were actually some early pattern coins made with Washington when he was president, so the Lincoln cent wasn't the first. Also the half dollar isn't the largest coin made in size or denomination. We make bullion coins with face value of $1-$100 with different metals
