$20 Bill Values – How Are They Graded? Average circulated notes grade between Very Fine (VF) and Extremely Fine (EF). These notes contain aspects such as limited folds, semi crisp to crisp surface, no tears, and no water damage or environmental damage. Notes of lower quality (Fair to Fine) bring lower prices of course, as their condition generally plays a large role in the overall appraisal. “Unc or UNC” banknotes – uncirculated or also called Crisp Uncirculated (CU) are notes in new condition with no wear, no fold marks, and have SHARP corners. Lastly, a “Gem” note contains all of the aforementioned aspects, but also has deep or hard impressed colors that are shiny in a matter of display. These bills can command a high premium over their face value in auction and are highly sought after.

The Twenty US dollar bill ($20) is adenomination of United States currency. U.S. President Andrew Jackson iscurrently featured on the front side of the bill, which is why the twenty-dollarbill is often called a 'Jackson,' while the White House is featured on thereverse side.
The twenty-dollar bill in the past was referred to as a 'double-sawbuck'because it is twice the value of a ten-dollar bill, which was nicknamed a'sawbuck' due to the resemblance the Roman numeral for ten (X) bears to the legsof a sawbuck, although this usage had largely fallen out of favor by the 1980s.The twenty dollar gold coin was known as a 'double eagle'. Rather than anickname, this nomenclature was specified by an act of Congress.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the average circulation life of a Twenty US dollar bill($20) is 25 months (2 years) before it is replaced due to wear. Approximately30% of all notes printed in 2014 were $20 bills. Twenty-dollar bills aredelivered by Federal Reserve Banks in violet straps.
