## Description

All 1896 $1 silver certificates have a red seal and dark blue serial numbers.  The basic design shows a woman reclined and pointing towards the Washington Monument in Washington DC.  She has her arm around a young boy.  This design is known as history instructing youth.  There is a lot of other stuff going on with this 1896 $1 bill.  The document on the right hand side of the bill is actually The United States Constitution.  There are also names of a couple dozen important Americans printed in wreaths around the front of the bill.  Most of the people were important because of their artistic, cultural, or scientific achievements.
Series of 1896 one dollar silver certificates are the lowest denomination found from the very popular educational series.  The educational series marked the first time that the government really tried to bring artwork to the general population through money.

The scene on the 1896 one dollar bills is known as History Instructing Youth.  It shows a boy standing beside a seated woman.  The woman is pointing across the Potomac towards the Washington Monument.  The 1896 one dollar silver certificate also shows many wreaths containing the names of many famous American men. 
The United States one-dollar bill ($1) is a denomination of United States currency. The first U.S. President (1789-97), George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. The one-dollar bill has the oldest reverse design of all U.S. currency, while the two-dollar bill has the oldest obverse design currently being produced. The obverse design seen today on the one-dollar bill debuted in 1963 when it first became a Federal Reserve Note.
An individual dollar bill is also less formally known as a one, a single, a buck, a bone, and a bill. 
The Federal Reserve says the average life of a $1 bill in circulation is 5.9 years before it is replaced because of wear.
