George Washington's portrait has sat at the center of the front of the one-dollar bill since 1869, a placement that has continued for more than 150 years. The note's first issue came in 1862, during the Civil War, when the federal government needed a paper currency that was not tied to gold. The back is decorated with an elaborate engraved design that includes the Great Seal of the United States, which is worth studying closely for its fine lines and symbolism. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced the note, which gives it a lasting place in American design history.
