  1. I think it was some guy named Randy who owned a trick pony.

    But I could be wrong.

  2. George.

    The one dollar note of 1862 had a portrat of Salmon Chase, Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln. Nothing like putting your own picture on the money. I am sort of surprised that Bush hasn't followed suit. The 1861 $10 demand note had a picture of Lincoln. Liberty was on the 1861 $20 demand note. Hamilton on the $50 note of 1862. An eagle on the $100 note of 1862. Gallatin on the $500 note of 1862. Robert Morris on the $1000 note of 1862. Back then inflation was running rampid, so the government was printing paper money like crazy of course to spur inflation on.
