The watermark on the $10 bill depicts which individual?

• A. Alexander Hamilton
• B. Franklin D. Roosevelt
• C. Secretary Jackson before he became president
• D. Ulysses S. Grant

Answer: (C)

Watermarks are security features that reveal a faint portrait when you hold the bill up to light, and they mirror the main portrait on the note. On the ten-dollar bill, the watermark is a faint image of Alexander Hamilton, who appears on the front of the bill. That makes Hamilton the person depicted in the watermark. The other names listed are associated with different denominations: Franklin D. Roosevelt is on the dime, Ulysses S. Grant is on the fifty, and Andrew Jackson is on the twenty. So the ten-dollar bill’s watermark shows Alexander Hamilton.
