The first generations of currency in the U.S. did not display the faces of presidents. However, in modern day times, having portraits of leaders on currency is common practice. It’s interesting to note that by law, dollar bills can only be branded with portraits of deceased individuals in the United States. This law took effect in 1886, prohibiting living persons from appearing on postal currency, bonds, securities, or branded monetary notes/bills.
When the government began issuing paper currency, it was decided the style, design, and layout would be in green. The color of the United States newly branded dollar bills was a symbol of stability and prosperity, hence the slang “greenbacks”. Money continues to change and adapt overtime. 3000 Hats shares is in this by continue to grow and change with our customers to provide premium hats in a variety colors, style, and designs.
There are currently seven U.S. branded dollar bills, the one dollar bill, the two dollar bill, the five dollar bill, the ten dollar bill, the twenty dollar bill, the fifty dollar bill, and last but certainly no least the one-hundred dollar bill. All federal reserve notes are a blend of 25 percent linen and a surprising 75 percent cotton. We are happy to introduce a leather patch hat depicting the U.S. currency.

The current national debt is over Thirty trillion dollars. It’s hard to imagine that amount of money. Here’s a fun fact to put that into perspective. You can buy an island for one-hundred million US dollars. That amount of money could be three-hundred thousand private islands. You could easily afford to purchase your own private airplane. You could purchase a midnight express boat in every color. Heck, if you really wanted to, you could buy your own Train. The richest man on earth, Elon Musk is worth approximately two hundred billion. Which pales in comparison to what America’s debt is currently.
