Question: What are the names of the famous people depicted on various denominations of U.S. paper currency? Answer: 1 dollar note depicts George Washington; 2 dollar note depicts Thomas Jefferson; 5 dollar note depicts Abraham Lincoln; 10 dollar note depicts Alexander Hamilton; 20 dollar note depicts Andrew Jackson; 50 dollar note depicts Ulysses S. Grant; 100 dollar note depicts Benjamin Franklin; 500 dollar note depicts William McKinley; 1000 dollar note depicts Grover Cleveland; 5000 dollar note depicts James Madison; 10000 dollar note depicts Salmon P. Chase; 100000 dollar note depicts Woodrow Wilson.
Currency notes of denominations above $100 are not available from the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.
These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today; however, most notes still in circulation are probably in the hands of private numismatic dealers and collectors. If you are interested in purchasing these larger denominations, it is suggested that you contact private dealers or collectors who are usually listed in the classified section of the telephone directory under the headings of “Coins” and “Hobbies.”

COVINGTON, Ga. (March 10) - A woman was caught trying to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at a Wal-Mart, and was later found with two more of the bills in her purse, police said.
The United States Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but people can buy souvenirs of such a bill at some stores, police said.
''It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this,'' Covington Police Chief Stacey Cotton said Tuesday. ''People do crazy things all the time. I think it's just another example of some odd things that occur.''
A clerk at the store immediately noticed the bill was fake when 35-year-old Alice Regina Pike handed it to her on Friday, Cotton said.
Pike then tried to use two gift cards with only $2.32 of value on them to buy the merchandise, but when that didn't work she again asked if the clerk could cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police.
Pike, of Porterdale, was charged with forgery. There was no listing for her phone number in directory assistance, and she could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
