About this banknote
The United States issued this $20 Gold Certificate under the authority of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in 1928. This series was introduced following the Gold Standard Act, which facilitated paper currency backed by gold reserves, allowing more flexibility in transactions and federal reserves.
The front side of the note features a portrait of Andrew Jackson, central inscriptions indicating it as a Gold Certificate, and signatures of Walter Orr Woods and Andrew William Mellon. The back side depicts the White House. Known as Pick 422, this type was legal tender until the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 restricted gold certificates, ceasing their redemption in gold.
