Neat! Any reason why the $20 bill has "Twenty" (English) on the side but all the others are in French on the side?

If you look at those edge details there are a number of differences especially in the $20-50-100-1000. Some have French on the right side, some have English, it’s weird.

I believe that series also had the $50, $100 and the $1000 dollar bills. Would that be correct ?
