Lincoln did that. But- that's a silver certificate more than it's a "dollar bill." Those could be redeemed for 90% silver dollars way back when the US had actual money. (Pre 1964, for those counting.) That's how there's odd weights of silver bars, stamped with different (some now defunct) bank names. (Also very collectable.) Us also had gold dollars. The pre 1933, iirc, are the most sought after. (Different denominations, like a $20 or a $5 coin, for instance.)
