The $50 bill is currently the second highest denomination note issued by the U.S. Treasury. The $50 bill accounts for only a small percentage of the total notes issued by the Treasury Department, and for that reason is popular among collectors. Early fifty dollar bills (1861 to 1891) are scarce to very rare. The face of former President Ulysses S. Grant has been featured on every $50 note from 1913 to now.
