Historical Tidbit: In February of 1862, everyone’s favorite President signed the Legal Tender Act (frequently called the “Greenbacks” act) creating a uniform national currency backed only by the Federal Government. Mr. Lincoln first appeared on the five dollar Federal Reserve Note in 1914 and continues to grace the cover of the modern day ‘Greenback’ with only slight modifications every few years.
