A distinctive engraved portrait of Thomas appeared on U.S. paper money in 1890 and 1891. The bills are called "[[Treasury (Coin) Note|treasury notes]]" or "coin notes" and are widely collected today because of their fine, detailed engraving. The $5 Thomas "fancyback" note of 1890, with an estimated 450–600 in existence relative to the 7.2&nbsp;million printed, ranks as number 90 in the "100 Greatest American Currency Notes" compiled by Bowers and Sundman (2006).<ref>Bowers, Q.D., and D.M.
