how much money did president lincoln have on hm when he died?

Hello.

President Lincoln was carrying a $5 Confederate note when he was shot and killed.

From the Library of Congress:

"There is nothing unusual about some of the things Lincoln carried
with him: two pairs of eyeglasses, a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a
linen handkerchief, a watch fob and a brown leather wallet. But in the
wallet was a $5 Confederate note and nine newspaper clippings."
