The $5 dollar that we know today, featuring Abraham Lincoln on the front, first appeared in 1914.
However, five-dollar banknotes in the United States have been available for a long time, dating back to 1861 when $5 "demand notes" were first created.
Since then, numerous other types of $5 bills and notes have come into circulation
The value of a $5 bill is determined by two factors: rarity and condition, like with other collector coins and cash.
To attract top dollar, they must be both scarce and in high-grade condition.
