The United States five-dollar bill (US$5) is a denomination of United States currency. The current $5 bill features U.S. president Abraham Lincoln and the Great Seal of the United States on the front and the Lincoln Memorial on the back. All $5 bills issued today are Federal Reserve Notes. As of December 2018^[update], the average life of a $5 bill in circulation is 4.7 years before it is replaced due to wear.^[3] Approximately 6% of all paper currency produced by the U.S. Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing in 2009 were $5 bills.^[4]

The note was formerly nicknamed a "fin", a term from Yiddish פֿינף (finf), פֿינעף (finef), meaning "five;" this term derived from underworld slang and originally referred to the British five-pound note. It was first recorded being used to refer to the American bill in 1925.^[5][6] It is also occasionally referred to as a “fiver”.^[7]
