In this video we’re going to look at American currency. It’s really hard to counterfeit. Almost every single part of American currency is there to make it difficult to copy. The United States Department of Treasury spends billions each year producing it, and it is quite an elaborate process. Oh don’t get me wrong, many still try to counterfeit American currency, and in fact many are still successful. The Department of Treasury estimates that possibly $200 million in counterfeit bills are currently in circulation. That would mean that about 1 Federal Reserve Note out of every 4,000 out there right now is counterfeit.
Meh, almost every store would probably still accept it, anyway. After all, it got there in the first place.
But hold up. What about the people on this currency? Who ARE these people? Do they think they’re a big deal?
Why yes, they ARE a big deal. Most of them were American Presidents. However, others are just important people in American history, and some of them featured on different currencies over the years may surprise you. The Secretary of the Treasury is in charge of selecting people, and there’s no law saying that the people on the currency have to always be the same.
In this video, I’m looking at every person on American currency, and I’ll give some basic information about them, although I’m sure you’re already familiar with most of them.

How can I stop this mr beat can you help me

I like how Jackson’s on the 20 dollar bill even though he did like banks or having a currency based on paper money.
Such an ironic thing. If Jackson was alive today, he would be flabbergasted by it.
It's an example of the Fed trolling us.
Congress decided who's image is on currency, not the Fed lol
I think you meant to say "didn't" not "did"
I think Jackson should remain on the $20 bill. He's a pretty important president and I think he is more influential than Harriet Tubman. I would put her on a continued $2 bill or something.
Andrew Jackson: "I killed the bank"
US Government: "Okay this guy is perfect to put on our money"
It's just trolling at this point
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No that is only true for the 100,000 dollar usd gold certificate of OCT/NOV/DEC of uear thirty fur ie series 1934... it was never made outaide of the 3 months of 1934 in the last 3 months because of dies being expensive to make new for the form of it was less costly than basic making of a whole new die vs the certificate itself. @@johndododoe1411

@@blackyoda2278 he’s on the dime
Taft busted more trusts than TR (including Standard Oil and American Tobacco) while still having much more economic sense on him (he pushed for lowering tariffs back when most of govt revenue came from it). History would probably be much better if TR actually stuck to his word and the legacy of Washington himself and not have run for a third term, leading to Wilson winning in 1912.

Seeing Wilson on the $100k note
Cue Cynical Historian "WILLLSSOOOOONNNN!!"
As a kid, my parents gave the tooth fairy custom their own twist. Instead of dollars bills, I'd get the Sacagawea dollar coins for each tooth I lost. So as a result, I had always thought that was the tooth fairy on the dollar coin and thought they were made of gold. Then I toured the mint in Philadelphia where I saw an exhibit for that coin and I thought, well the tooth fairy has to have the coins made somewhere! Good times!
That’s amazing
My parents did that too!
When I was in kindergarten I saw a Half-Dollar for the first time in my life and I was curious to know not only who he was but who everyone on our currency was. This ended up turning into my love of Presidential history I have today.
That's amazing. That's partially how I originally got interested as well!
@@iammrbeat Great video by the way. Would you consider doing a video on political realignments and the Presidents responsible for beginning new party systems? Like Thomas Jefferson being responsible for the 1st Party System, Andrew Jackson being responsible for the 2nd Party System and so on?
Hooray for Kennedy
Same here, as a kid!
@@iammrbeat in my kindergarten days, Ben Franklin and Liberty Walking halves commonly circulated, in addition to the Kennedy silver halves.
I love the expression of Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill as it looks like he's had enough or he looks concerned likely from what people are using $100 bills for
Also he has missed out the other $1 coin which has Dwight D Eisenhower on it

10:38 Mr. Beat names former people on currency
Fun Fact: Before the redesign in 2009, the penny was the only american coin with the President on both sides as President Lincoln had his portrait on one side and in the middle of the Lincoln Monument has a tiny etched Lincoln
That's cool
I learned this when I got a giant penny from the Smithsonian and noticed there’s a tiny stick Lincoln. I looked at a real penny and saw he was there too 😂😂
Not true. Look at wheat pennies, Sometimes i find them myself. They were printed back in the 50s but for whatever reason they changed the design. Also pennies were made from steel to save copper during WWII.
The Lewis and Clark bill is awesome they’re such underrated figures in American history imo
I remember the Louisiana Purchase commemorative nickel series!
Milhouse: "this suit cost me 300 Reagans"
5:12 the Eisenhower Silver Dollar first put into circulation in 1971 was, and still is, the largest modern coin ever made, not the Kennedy Half Dollar
Ty, very good point and, you're right!
Well he said curently produced
I assume the American silver eagle could qualify in regards to the size, current mintage availability, and weight. Its affordable, considering the act which created it determined the factors of price to use a close margin of profit that is nearly break even cost for the mint and technically denotes a one dollar value as currency. Idk this is a youtube comment so don't take this as anything more than a late night ramble.
Yea, I was a bit surprised he missed this one.
WAS.... Not is.
The worst thing about replacing Jackson on the 20 dollar bill: It will ruin one of the better jokes in Pixar's "Soul."

@@Tech-cy9yo Abraham Lincoln was one of the mentors of 22 before Joe became hers, and 22 mocked Lincoln for being on the Penny, and Lincoln was honored for being on the penny. But then 22 brought up the fact that Jackson was on the 20 dollar bill and Lincoln flipped tf out.

Thank you for this wonderful video Mr.Beat. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Thank YOU

That's really nice of you to say!
Same here but I watch all if his video's. I learned A lot.

Yep I think I learn more watching TV or UA-cam since it's more entertaining on these sites.

Same, though I prefer foreign currency. But my American currency collection is much bigger.
I found this to be quite an interesting video! Didn't know they changed _that_ much! Also, I am looking forward to seeing Tubman on the $20 soon!
Glad you thought so!

It makes sense to have Woodrow Wilson on the $100,000 bill since he created the federal reserve, but he's still not worthy of being on a bill
Couldn't agree more.
@@iammrbeat I think he has a mixed legacy but he isn’t one of the worse
@@tommyk3464 thats true, still not a big fan though. Not the worst, but definitely not near the best by a long shot imo.
He is widely considered top 5 one of the worst presidents ever... even worse than Trump
@@gocubs1815 I wouldn't go that far. Yes, he broke his campaign slogan by unnecessarily getting us into WWI, but his postwar plans were actually pretty good had people actually listened to him. Had Britain and France followed his 14 Points better and not made Germany and the others pay ridiculous reparations while unjustly blaming them solely for the war, and had Congress accepted and joined the League of Nations (although it still needed to be made more powerful than it was), then it's very possible that World War II could've been prevented or at least kept Hitler and Musolini from gaining as much power as they did.

This is one of my favorite channels
I find that there seem to be two "schools" of physical monetary design. You have the "Individuals school" wherein the currency would feature several famous and significant figures from that country's history. Then you have the "Landmarks school", wherein the currency usually only features one individual (Hồ Chí Minh for Việt Nam, Mao Tse-Tung for PRC, Kim Il Sung for DPRK,...) and some sort of landmark on the back. What do you think? Which one's better?
I like landmarks better, since we generally glorify individuals too much.
@@iammrbeat That's right. Be sure to thoroughly bask in your own whilst it lasts
Great video Mr Beat.
Thanks Devin!
Great video and some nice tips! This is a scary time for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks or crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon. I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 16` btc from day trading with Ruby Benally in few weeks this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearishyt
..
Great skills and knowledge about the market. I enjoy full profits and easy withdrawal with no complains, trade with the best.
It doesn't matter if you are a current hodler or a newbie, you can capitalize on the fluctuation of bitcoin by trading with good strategy/signals.
A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is that i don't even care much about bullish or bearish market because Ruby Benally Strategy got me covered, I am comfortably earning monthly..
No one, NO ONE, can argue Ruby benally at least currently, the best out there, even when Bitcoin is looking bearish with the market sentiment swinging low. But they kept us grounded with their real analysis, just the facts in the charts.
I've always preferred physical currency because it help me have a more material grasp on my spending, but I switched to primarily using my debit card due to covid, and it's so much more convenient that I don't know if I'll ever make a real effort to start using cash again...
A 1 dollar bill ripped in half should count as 50 cents because its literally half a dollar

i swear mr beat is the only person that can have a monotone voice and still be good/relaxing to listen to
for some reason this is my favorite video by mr. beat
Ty, for this very informative video. Yes, it is true. Our paper dollar bills are actually 75% cotton, 25% linen. Many Americans don't know what our bills are made of!
I believe that if they were to ever replace Andrew Jackson, That it should be either a founding father that we haven't used yet, Or a former U.S. President. Kinda stick to the theme ya know.
Edit: I was surprised to find out how many founding fathers we have that nobody talks about.

*angry coin collector noises*
Seriously, great video, and the mint has slapped basically everyone on commemorative coins. Also, a Native American was on the Indian Head penny from 1859-1908 and Lady Liberty was on practically every denomination of coin in the 19th century. There have been plenty of women on American coins, they just aren't, uh, real.
Good points!
I remember in economics class a few months back, we were asked if we had seen a 2$ bill, and I wrote down and said "Jefferson" since most of the questions (it was grade level stuff on the first day for some reason despite being a far more mature audience) were about who was on what dollar bill
its basically an inside joke now

I personally like how quarters have different backs with different states on them - I got a West Virginia one today that had Harpers Ferry on the back with "John Brown's Fort" below it. The fact that I actually know why it has that on the back even though I'm from Illinois is surprising to me.
A bit surprised that Fredrick Douglas has never been on American currency.
He'd be another good candidate to be on future currency
Hopefully when D.C. becomes a state, it will rightfully be renamed in his honor “Douglass Commonwealth”
He was actually on DC's National Park quarter in 2017.
At one point, Dwight Eisenhower was on the dollar coin from 1971-74 and then 1976
I was going to comment on where is the love for the Eisenhower Silver Dollar
Before that, you had the peace dollar coin.
He was on it from 1971 to 1978. Not counting the presidential dollar in 2015 he was also on. Also, the commemorative dollar he was on in 1990. And the 5-star general commemorative he was on in 2013. Hmm, he manages to get on $1 coins a lot, now that I think of it.
