Description:  Due to several different hoards of 1869 $5 legal tender notes, they are actually fairly common.  However, that doesn’t mean that they are cheap.  1869 five dollar bills are very popular.  The paper these were printed on has a unique color to it.  Collectors call these “rainbow” notes due to all the color in the paper.

The design of 1869 five dollar bills was the first time the “woodchopper” scene was used.  It shows a pioneer, his wife, child, and hound dog.  The man is holding an ax, hence the wood chopper title.  These five dollar bills also show Andrew Jackson.
