The $20 bill is a denomination of United States dollar, the currency of the United States of America.

History

• 1914: Began as a large-sized note with a portrait of Grover Cleveland on the face
• 1928: Switched to a small-sized note with a portrait of Andrew Jackson on the face
• 1998: Received a new appearance to stop it from being counterfeited
• 2003: Still another new appearance with new colors and no oval around Andrew Jackson's portrait

The $20 bill is sometimes nicknamed a "double-sawbuck," although this usage is far less common today than it was in the early 20th century.
