Four of them participated in the founding of the United States: Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Franklin. Maybe "bills" could be unambiguously known as "banknotes".

A country's official, paper currency that is circulated for the transactions involved in acquiring goods and services are called banknotes, paper money or greenbacks. In North American English also called a bill. I think all are synonimus.

@GabrielFox​ I agree bill is much commonly used in the US, I rarely ever hear the term "banknote" used in America. He does have a point about the founding fathers, there were more than two and the two categories you are speaking of overlap. Also, favourite is correct,  although "favorite" is the prefered term in North American English.

FYC, Suggested Corrections

Which of these important American historical figures is your favorite one?

#3 The bill dates back to 1914 and has always featured the 16th president of the United States.

#5 The first $20 bill was issued by the government in 1914 and had President Grover Cleveland's face. President Jackson's face was swapped in 1929.

#7 Founding Father and famed inventor Franklin's face has appeared on the $100 bill (the largest denomination in circulation) since it was first issued by the government in 1914.
