Question
I have a 1985 series $5.00 bill and my question is about the back side. In the 4 corners when there is the #5, the upper corners have the number 5 but the lower corners have the word five written out. I haven't been able to find any others like this. I use to have two of them but I gave one away. Can you tell me anything about this bill.
Hi Maggie, on the 1985 $5 Lincoln Memorial side it is normal to have 5 spelled out on the bottom corners.

It may be worth about $5-$10 depending on amount of wear and collector demand.
