This is not true. This is what the USA government accused him of. But just check the 5 dollar notes and tell me they can be confused:
Why do you pick the examples with the largest difference to prove your point? It proves that you have decided what you want to believe, and only look for evidence supporting it. What you should be doing is looking for evidence that disproves your own theory. If you did you would have used the most similar money, which are the coins. If you can honestly say that the most similar examples are too different to be confused you would have made a much more convincing argument.
I guess the state has a monopoly on all liberty-oriented figures now.
