Uncommon card · No. 155614

The United States five-dollar bill (US$5) is a denomination of United States currency. The latest $5 bill features U.S. president Abraham Lincoln and the coat of arms of United States on the front and the Lincoln Memorial on the back. These $5 bills are Federal Reserve Notes. As of December 2018, the average life of a $5 bill in circulation is 4.7 years before it is replaced due to wear. Approximately 6% of all paper currency produced by the U.S. Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing in 2009 were $5 bills. The note has been nicknamed a "fin", a term from Yiddish פֿינף (finf), פֿינעף (finef), meaning "five;" this term derived from underworld slang and originally referred to the British five-pound note. It was first recorded being used to refer to the American bill in 1925. It is also occasionally referred to as a “fiver”.
