Here the subject is a one-dollar bill, a small paper note rather than a monument or a painted portrait, and its face carries the same likeness of George Washington that appears throughout this board. Washington has been the figure on the $1 note for well over a century, which made the bill one of the most widely handled images of the first president in everyday American life. The design is worth a closer look for its engraved detail, which was meant to be hard to copy, and for the way a common object turned a founder's face into a daily reminder of the nation's currency.
