Pondering - Money

So when I was at the bank today withdrawing some money (went to look at a car I saw on craigslist, but I didn't buy it) and anyway I was thinking about the dollar bills the US no longer issues like the $2.00 bill and the $1,000 dollar bill and whose face was on those dollar amounts.




So I have taken it upon myself to find out for all of you faithful readers so we will be in the know in case someone tries to pass off a fake $1000 dollar bill on us we can be like.... um I'm sorry sir but everyone knows Grover Cleveland was on the $1,000 bill.



So the run down:

$1.00 George Washington


$2.00 Thomas Jefferson


$5.00 Abraham Lincoln


$10.00 Alexander Hamilton (not a pres.)


$20.00 Andrew Jackson


$50.00 Ulysses S. Grant


$100.00 Benjamin Franklin (not a pres.)


$500.00 William McKinley


$1000.00 Grover Cleveland


$5000.00 James Madison


$10,000.00 Salmon P. Chase (not a pres.)


$100,000.00 Woodrow Wilson




And incase you are wondering...



Coins:


$0.01 Abe Lincoln


$0.05 Thomas Jefferson


$0.10 FDR


$0.25 Washington


$0.50 Kennedy


$1.00 Eisenhower, Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, and they are now releasing a dollar coin of every past president, I've seen Washington, Adams, Jefferson so far.



Bonus Fact:



Now you are probably wondering who is Salmon P. Chase?



He was the Sec. of the Treasury under Aberham Lincon (and also a chief justice during his political career), it was his job to help design the currency at the time so he also appeared on some other types of bank notes, but he was honored for his role in helping design the modern currency (played a major role in getting "In God We Trust" printed on the money) that he was featured on the $10,000 bill which was printed from 1928-1946
