United States Fifty-dollar Bill
The United States dollar bill ($50) is a denomination of United States currency. Ulysses S. Grant is featured on the obverse, while the U.S. Capitol is featured on the reverse. All current-issue $50 bills are Federal Reserve Notes.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the average life of a $50 bill in circulation is 55 months before it is replaced due to wear. Approximately 6% of all notes printed in 2009 were $50 bills. They are delivered by Federal Reserve Banks in brown straps.
A fifty dollar bill is sometimes called a Grant based on the use of Ulysses S. Grant's portrait on the bill.
