  U.S. twenty-dollar bill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. twenty dollar bill ($20) is a denomination of United States currency.
The $20 bill is sometimes nicknamed a "double-sawbuck," although this usage is far less common today than it was in the early 20th century.
The $20 bill is the primary banknote dispensed by automated teller machines in the United States; it is, therefore, the highest denomination used by Americans on a regular, everyday basis.

 A facelift for the $20 bill - May. 13, 2003
Of all the counterfeit bills in circulation, about 40 percent are produced digitally, according to the Secret Service, which was established in 1865 to fight counterfeiting.
Forgue said some counterfeiters are able to bleach the ink out of newer bills of smaller denominations, leaving just the unique currency paper and the watermark, and then print the features of a higher-denominated bill on the blank paper.
The Bureau of Engraving's Ferguson acknowledged the new bill would not discourage counterfeiters from this process, but he said there would still be features that, with a quick look, could distinguish a "leached" note as counterfeit.
