In reply to thepotatohead. I can't even imagine how much that would be worth.... I wonder if they've since destroyed them all or if maybe the Smithsonian or some place is showcasing it for history?

One of the cool factoids I found out about money was that there actually was a $100,000 bill made with President Woodrow Wilson on it. It was only used for transfers between the federal reserve bank though. I imagine if someone saw that in the street they would think its monopoly money as I had never heard of such a high denomination bill before.

Kudos for finally realizing the importance of reading (online or off-line) :)). I grew up without a computer and barely any TV channels, so reading was one of my favorite entertainments from an early age. Can’t say I regret it!

I have no idea, but yeah – the Secret Service is def. doing different stuff these days, haha… I once applied to work for them if you can believe it! I dropped out after interview #2 (didn’t want to be a bike cop in the ghetto), but it was fun to think about for a while :)

In reply to Jessica O.. I'd imagine it surely lasts longer now, right? Would be an interesting study indeed :)

In reply to Free Money Minute. Haha... we're too lazy in the U.S. to learn the metric system ;)

Wow, these are really interesting facts. That’s the thing with others, they don’t know that value of a bill and how much it costs just to create it.

In reply to Slackerjo. I would take both policies @slackerjo! It is crazy to pay that much for each penny produced considering most people give pennies very little value anymore. The metric system is also better IMO, and it is a world standard. We do some odd things here in the US.

Interesting fact about the Secret Service; I doubt this accounts for much of their activities now! Actually, isn’t the FBI in charge of counterfeiting operations?
