The U.S. $1 dollar bill has been redesigned many time since first being issued back in
1862. What we almost exclusively use today is the version designed in 1963. The following extremely informative infographic explains what all the different symbols on the dollar mean, who is on the front & back of all the U.S. currencies currently in use and the $500, $1,000, $10,000 and $100,000 (yes, $100,000!) bills that are no longer in production.
The above introductory comments are paraphrased excerpts from an infographic* by Sukhdip Basra (VisualCapitalist.com) entitled The Dollar Deconstructed.
