Whose image is used in the watermark on the $10 bill?

• A. Andrew Jackson
• B. Alexander Hamilton
• C. Ulysses S. Grant
• D. Benjamin Franklin

Answer: (A)

Watermarks are security features built into modern banknote paper that reveal a portrait when the note is held up to the light. The image in the watermark usually matches the portrait shown on the front of the note, helping you confirm authenticity. On the ten-dollar bill, the watermark is a faint image of Alexander Hamilton, visible on the right side of the note. This corresponds to Hamilton being the person pictured on the bill. Andrew Jackson is on the twenty-dollar bill, Ulysses S. Grant on the fifty, and Benjamin Franklin on the hundred. So, the watermark image on the ten-dollar bill is Alexander Hamilton.
