The pages on the Internet that talk about the new $20 bill that went out in 2003 all say that the $50 bill will go out in 2004. However, 2004 is now just about 3 months over. It was in May 2003 when the new $20 bill got its new appearence mentioned on the Internet. So, sometime within the next 2 months, the $50 bill should get its new appearence.

[edit] Bill nicknames
At the pages for the $5 bill, $10 bill, $20 bill, and $100 bill, there are some old-fashioned names for the bills that date to the days of the large-sized notes, prior to 1928. However, the $50 bill doesn't mention a name like this. Do you know what it is?? If so, please put it in the following table:
Denomination Portrait Nickname $5 Abraham Lincoln Fin $10 Andrew Jackson Sawbuck $20 Grover Cleveland Double sawbuck $50 Ulysses Grant ? $100 Benjamin Franklin C-note
Please note that the portraits mentioned in the portrait column are those that were on the large sized notes that were printed when the nicknames were common, not necessarily the same as those on the small-sized notes of today. 66.32.89.215 17:13, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- My copy of "The Slang of Sin" by Tom Dalzell lists "half C," "half century," and "half yard" as nicknames for a $50 bill. I've never heard them before so I can't say how common they are/were.
- And for the record the nicknames were still used for decades after the small notes were introduced. Read up on your Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. :) Andrewlevine 18:01, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] The new $50 bill
On April 26, 2004, the new $50 bill will be revealed according to a Google search. Sometime between April 26 and May 3, can you put up a picture of the new $50 bill on the Wikipedia article?? 66.32.138.124 01:30, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] The Liberty Bill
This is an idea that got some attention recently. Does it belong in the encyclopedia? Does it belong here? Mr. Jones 17:20, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
On the page for William Seward (Secratary of State, 1861-69) it says that his face is on the 1891 series fifty-dollar bill. Is this true? If so, it should probably be on this page...
[edit] Phrasing of section titles
According to several sources, "large size note" and "small size note" do not need to be hyphenated. However, "large-sized note" or "small-sized note" is hyphenated if used within the context of a sentance. --8 August 2005 Kurthalomieu J. McCool
[edit] Next $50 bill to be released
When do you think the next $50 bill will be released?? There was one in 1997 and one in 2004, and so I guess the next will be in 2011. Is this right?? Georgia guy 20:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Better title
The better title for this article would be Fifty dollar Federal Reserve Note. There's no such thing, strictly speaking, as a "United States fifty-dollar bill"....and, while it may seem like numismatic-cruft, there should be an article for each denomination of United States Note, Federal Reserve Note, silver certificate, et al. Kthx Paul 01:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Can you explain what you mean when you say there is no such thing?? Georgia guy 01:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
This is about the physical size of the notes. Please discuss at Talk:Large-sized note. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
