Which of these U.S. paper currency bills features a landmark not located in Washington, D.C.?

The correct answer is the $100 bill. Unlike the $5, $10, and $20 bills — all of which depict landmarks in Washington, D.C. (the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Treasury, and the White House, respectively) — the $100 bill features an image of Independence Hall.

Independence Hall is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is one of the most important historical sites in the United States. It is where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and adopted, making it a powerful symbol of American democracy.

The reverse of the modern $100 bill showcases an updated engraving of Independence Hall, maintaining the iconic structure’s presence on America’s highest-value commonly circulated note.

Fun fact: Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait appears on the front of the $100 bill, helped draft both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution — tying him directly to the landmark on the reverse.
