History Instructing Youth is a series 1896 United States one-dollar bill. It was part of the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) Educational Series and the series was replaced in 1899. It is one of three notes that make up the Educational Series. After many complaints about the notes in the series, the BEP replaced the series 1899. Today, it is considered one of the most beautiful and popular US large-size notes. The scene on the note's obverse is allegorical and features a woman who is instructing a young boy about United States history.
