[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 973385, member: 6229"]Regarding the $5 paper currency printed from 1922. You know the reverse of the bills, silver certificates, banknotes and Federal Reserve Notes, bear the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. As you probably know the actual Lincoln Memorial building is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in close proximity to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial and the National World War II Memorial and was dedicated on May 30, 1922. You know the architect of the building was Henry Bacon, the sculptor of the main statue (Abraham Lincoln, 1920) was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. You probably know the building is in the form of a Greek [B][I]Doric[/I][/B] temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of Lincoln's two famous speeches, [B][I]The Gettysburg Address[/I][/B] and his [B][I]Second Inaugural Address[/I][/B] [URL]http://www.frbsf.org/currency/stability/notes/Kc2.html[/URL] NOTE: The following links may lead to a $5 bill, note, or silver certificate for sale.
