1928C five dollar bills are special because they were redeemable in gold. They read “Redeemable In Gold On Demand At The United States Treasury, Or In Gold Or Lawful Money At Any Federal Reserve Bank.” The above phrase is known as the gold clause. This phrase does not make 1928C Federal Reserve note five dollar bills also gold certificates. Gold certificates have a gold seal and were not even printed for the five dollar denomination in 1928.

You can also find “Federal Reserve Note The United States Of America Will Pay To The Bearer On Demand Five Dollars” printed on each note.

All series of 1928C Federal Reserve notes were printed in Washington DC. They feature a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and show the Lincoln Memorial on the back.
