The five-dollar tag of the United States ($ 5) is denominated in the United States currency. The $ 5 bill now features the 16th US President (1861-65), portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the front and Lincoln Memorial at the back. All $ 5 bills incurred today are the Federal Reserve Notes.
A $ 5 note is sometimes dubbed "fins". The term has a German/Yiddish root and is remotely related to "five" English, but much less frequently today than in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the average life of a $ 5 outstanding bill is 5.5 years before being replaced for use. About 6% of all paper currencies produced by the US Printing and Printing Bureau in 2009 are $ 5 bills.

Current design
The redesigned $ 5 bill was inaugurated on September 20, 2007, and was released on March 13, 2008 during a ceremony at President Lincoln's Cottage.
Security Features
New and improved security features make it easier to check for new $ 5 bills and more difficult for potential forger to reproduce. The redesigned $ 5 bills have:
- Watermark: There are now two watermarks. The large "5" watermark is located in the empty space to the right of the portrait, replacing the portrait of President Lincoln watermark found on the previous bill. The second watermark - a new column with three "5" smaller - has been added and positioned to the left of the portrait.
- Security thread: The embedded security thread runs vertically and is now to the right of the portrait. The "AS" letter followed by the number "5" in the back and forth pattern seen along the threads of both sides of the bill. The thread shines blue when held under ultraviolet light (black light).
- Microprinting: The redesigned $ 5 bills feature microprinting, which is a small text engraving, on the front of the bill in three areas: the words "FIVE DOLLARS" can be found repeatedly inside left and proper boundaries of the bill; the word "E PLURIBUS UNUM" appears at the top of the shield in the Great Seal; and the word "USA" is repeated between the shield columns. At the back of the bill the words "USA FIVE" appear along one side of the big purple "5". Because they are so small, these micro-printed words are hard to imitate.
- Red and Blue Threads: Some small red and blue threads are embedded into the paper to reveal if higher counterfeit bogus charges have been printed on white paper from the original lower denomination bill.
- Infrared Ink: The back of a five-dollar sheet displays parts of the bill lost when viewed in the infrared spectrum. This is consistent with other high value US bills ($ 5 and higher), all of which show a pattern of infrared lines-look unique to the given denominations. Other world currency bills, such as the Euro, also feature unique patterns visible only when viewed in this spectrum.
- Anti-Copier Circle Pattern: A small yellow "05" mark is printed to the left of the portrait in front of the bill and to the right of the Lincoln Memorial painting on the back. The zero at "05" creates a "EURion constellation" to prevent a copy of the bill. The photocopier detects a certain yellow circle pattern and refuses to make a copy. Some machines make records of illegal copying attempts, which can be reported by repair technicians to law enforcement.
Five-dollar notes do not have the optical ink variables of higher US dollar denominations.
Design features
The new $ 5 bill still has the same size and uses the same portrait - but enhanced - historical portraits and drawings. The most striking difference is the light purple from the center of the bill, which blends grayish color near the edges.
Similar to the recently redesigned $ 10, $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100 bills, the new $ 5 bill has a symbol of American freedom printed in the background: The Great American Seal, featuring eagles and shields, prints in purple to right portrait and the purple star arc surrounds both and portraits.
When the Lincoln Memorial was built, the names of 48 countries were engraved on it. The Lincoln Memorial image on a $ 5 bill contains only the names of 26 states. These are the 26 countries that can be seen on the front of the Lincoln memorial which is what is depicted on a $ 5 bill.
At the back of the bill, the larger, purple number "5" appears in the bottom right corner to help visually impaired people to differentiate denominations. This "big" 5 also includes the word "USA FIVE" in small white letters.
The oval border is around the portrait of President Lincoln on the front, and a Lincoln Memorial sketch on the back has been removed. Both carvings have been upgraded.

Redesign
On April 20, 2016, Finance Minister Jacob Lew announced that $ 5, $ 10, and $ 20 will all be redesigned before 2020. The changes will add new features to combat counterfeiting and make it easier for blind people to differentiate. Lew says that while Lincoln will stay on the front, the reverse will be redesigned to illustrate the historical events that took place at the Lincoln Memorial. Among the planned designs are images of Martin Luther King's speech, Jr. I Have a Dream, and a 1939 concert by opera singer Marian Anderson.
