Dollar Bills

One highly visible example of halftones is in the wallets of Americans. Dollar bills have halftone portraits of presidents (except Franklin). A form of the intaglio process is still used and etchines of each portrait is made on soft steel plates in order to produce several thousand prints on bills with ink.

Alexander Hamilton was first put on the ten dollar bill in 1929, when all the U.S. currency was changed to the size of bills we have now. His portrait is the only portrait on any of the bills to be facing a different direction than the rest.
