It was vastly more important what was in his Heart & Head that "mattered"
-
The confederate five is interesting tho

No doubt - strange historical twist - that we all carry him around now- more so - Where have all the true statesman's gone? He Trumps our current president in every way
-
Got to ruin everything don't you? Even an interesting tweet as this. Don't bring your Trump derangement syndrome into everything please.

Abraham Lincoln is the Gold Standard for Presidents/Human Beings- hard to debate- & yes - where have all the True Statesmen gone - Nonpartisan-Left & Right

I'll toss in the humanity of RFK in the year before death. Not prez but prez to be. On MLK day he was human beyond human
-
Yes Shawn- that was RFK at his finest-

Did he use the five dollar bill as a photo ID?

It’s a confederate $5 which is kind of interesting if you ask me.

@BeschlossDC is Lincoln on the 5 dollar bill because he had a Five dollar bill in his pocket when he died ? -
I hope so. Thus someday I might well be on the unpaid parking ticket.

I think you all are missing the lede. Why did he have a Confederate five dollar bill in his pocket?
-
Article in comments says it was likely a souvenir gift, as he'd recently visited Petersburg and Richmond.
