The United States twenty-dollar bill (US$20) is a denomination of U.S. currency. A portrait of Andrew Jackson, the seventh U.S. president (1829–1837), has been featured on the obverse of the bill since 1928; the White House is featured on the reverse. Jackson's portrait on the twenty-dollar bill has been noted as ironic, given his well-known opposition to the Second Bank of the United States and his broader resistance to central banking.[2][3]
As of December 2018, the average life of a $20 bill in circulation is 7.8 years before it is replaced due to wear.[4] Twenty-dollar bills are delivered by Federal Reserve Banks in violet straps.
