The 1914 U.S. $5.00 bill, as seen in Doc's money suitcase.
Abraham Lincoln (born February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville, Kentucky) was the 16th President of the United States.
History[]
Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth while watching a play at the Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865. He passed away the next day as a result.
When Marty went to 1931, a picture of John Wilkes Booth was used as part of Emmett Brown's mental alignment meter. Marty recognized him as the man who shot Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was added to United States currency in 1909, on the 1¢ coin, better known as a penny, and later in 1914, on the $5.00 bill.
Marty used a penny as part of a tip at Lou's Cafe on November 5, 1955.
When he traveled back to November 12, 1955, Emmett Brown had several $5.00 bills adorned with Abraham Lincoln's portrait in his money suitcase.
