Money Trivia

Money isn’t made out of paper; it’s made out of linen.

The dollar was established as the official currency of the US in 1785.

They no longer make a $1,000 bill, but President Grover Cleveland’s image appeared on it at the time it was being printed.

Woodrow Wilson was the face of the $100,000 bill.  It was never circulated but was used by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department.

A million dollars’ worth of $100 bills weighs only 22 lb.

The first coin minted in the United States was a silver dollar. It was issued on October 15, 1794.

As of 1976, there were approximately 375 ten-thousand dollar bills in circulation in the United States.
