The one-dollar bill's face centers on George Washington's portrait, a place it has held since 1869. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which was established in 1862 to produce paper money during the Civil War, printed the note, and its ornate reverse incorporates the Great Seal of the United States. That seal ties everyday cash to the nation's official emblem. The intricate engraving was also meant to make counterfeiting harder, which is worth noticing when looking at the fine lines and patterns.
