Q: Is the Federal Reserve putting former President Barack Obama on the $1 bill?
A: No. That claim comes from a recycled fake news story.
FULL QUESTION
Is the Federal Reserve really considering putting Obama on the $1 bill in 2017? I thought persons represented on currency had to be deceased.
FULL ANSWER
An image of former President Barack Obama is not being added to the $1 bill, despite what a story posted on several websites says.
Facebook users reported the story published June 23 on as potentially fake news. The article has actually been around since , and it just as Obama was preparing to leave office. It falsely claims that “a longtime push to honor modern presidents on currency has finally come to fruition” as “Obama’s image will replace George Washington’s” in 2017.
