According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there are only 26.

If you think about it for a minute, the names of the states are engraved all the way around the top of the Lincoln Memorial. The back of a bill is a flat picture so it can only show one side of the building. The only way you could see all the way around it would be if the Treasury borrowed some of those moving paintings from Harry Potter's world!

What states printed on the back from the five dollar bill?

The back of a $5 bill shows either 26 or 27 states across the top of the Lincoln Memorial, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial, it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)

Why are there states printed on the five dollar bill?

The back of a $5 bill has a picture of the Lincoln Memorial which has the names of all 48 states that existed at the time it was built, so of course the image on the $5 bill will show that as well. Of those, either 26 or 27 states are shown, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)

Names of states on back of 5 dollar billIf you use a super magnifying glass, you can see the names of either 26 or 27 states - depending on whether you can make out "N&S Carolina", or just "S Carolina" - These are listed in two sections on the back of the 5 dollar bill - one set at the top - around the frieze, and the other set above the pillars. At the top around the frieze - left to right -Arkansas-Michigan-Florida-Texas-Iowa-Wisconsin-California-Minnesota-Oregon-Kansas-West Virginia-Nevada-Nebraska-Colorado-North DakotaNext Level - Above the columns - left to rightDelaware-Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Georgia-Connecticut-Massachusetts-Maryland-(Maybe,. . ) S. Carolina-New Hampshire-Virginia-New YorkNote that these are the states that would be visible if you looked at the Lincoln Memorial from the same vantage point that was used to make the engraving. Only 26 (or 27) names are visible because the others are on the back of the building, which of course is hidden from view.
