odd monetary trivia...

sometimes,i love odd trivia:name the three people to appear on the $500 bill??? answer:1879:John Quincy Adams,sixth president of the United States,series 1918:John Marshall,fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,series 1934:William McKinley,25th President of the United States(1897-1901),and the second president to be assassinated six months into his second term,in September 1901... note:it was also printed as a small size Gold Certificate,in 1928... it was taken out of regular public circulation,on July 14,1969,by 35th President Richard M. Nixon,and the Treasury Department,to combat drug trafficking... note:the largest bill ever printed,by the Treasury Department,was a $100,000 Gold Certificate,with Woodrow Wilson,28th President of the United States(1913-1921),on it,and the oddest thing is that it was only printed,from December 18th,1934,to January 9th,1935-twenty two days-and never was in public circulation...
