The Bureau of Engraving and Printing requested thata select few artists submit their ideas for the new notes. The work of those artists culminated with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing selecting three designs. The government issued these designsin 1896. The banknote designs from 1896, named the Education Series, portrayed and celebrated technology that appeared in the 1800s. Among those three winning creations is the $5 "Electricity Presenting Light to the World" banknote. Its unparalleled beauty meant the $5 note was considered a masterpiece then and is still one today.
