	or change the title of the quiz to 'People on the obverse of U.S. paper currency.' @rbradati: Why the daggers after Robert R. Livingston, John Dickinson etc.?

	Sounds like rbradatl will be making his own quiz.

	Was hoping to get some bonuses for others that I remembered as the last to appear on denominations - McKinley (500) and Chase (10,000)

	717badger717, is possibly the person with the smallest Sporcle footprint to ever get a quiz published - six games played, no comments, one game contributed (over three years ago) - published! And not even a Newbie Badge!

	Several years ago a man came into Dairy Queen with a $200 dollar bill with the likeness of George Bush on it. He bought a blizzard and received roughly 198 dollars back in change.

	rroxxanna: Willing, Livingston and Dickinson were not signers of the Declaration of Independence, but were included in the painting. There were 14 signers who were not depicted here.

	Andrew Jackson being featured on paper currency is one of the world's true ironies.

	rbradatl: George Wythe, William Whipple, Josiah Bartlett, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Philip Livingston, and George Walton are not on the $2 bill (but were in the painting it is based on). The bill does, however, include two unknown persons for some reason. Since we're nitpicking, I would also include Lincoln twice (once as a statue in the memorial!), Albert Gallatin (as a statue), and three yet to be identified people in front of Independence Hall.

	Golaswede. Good observation. Sorry I didn't catch that to see if the painting and the representation on the bill were the same. Now I know what I'm doing with my afternoon (sad).

	Another quiz where I'd like to see the results of non Americans compared with my results. Nothing against Americans, it's just this quiz is a lot easier for Americans.

	A friend and I decided that Hamilton is the best looking person on US currency. What say you?

	GiantsJoe2110:	Dec 24th, 2012 at 18:53 GMT		0 points
	I'm surprised that Hamilton is the least guessed. $10 bills are way more common than $2s, $50s, and $100s, and Hamilton has to be about as well known a historical figure as Grant.

	catcherj:	Dec 24th, 2012 at 19:18 GMT		3 points
	@GiantsJoe: I wouldn't be so sure of that; a lot of people may just be guessing US presidents, which would give them Grant but not Hamilton.

	How about a bonus for William McKinley ($500), Grover Cleveland ($1000), James Madison ($5000), and Salmon Chase ($10000)

	I am still perplexed when visiting a state in another part of the country, a man wanted change for his $18 bill. Nonplussed the cashier asked if he wanted that change in 3 $6 bills or 2 $9 bills.

	You can Call me Aaron Burr by the way I'm dropping Hamiltons!

	I bet John Adams is pissed that we put Washington and Jefferson on money and not him.

	Actually it kind of does. You'd have to be an idiot to take face value for a $500 or $1000 bill, let alone anything higher.

	moviegoer74:	Dec 26th, 2012 at 02:08 GMT		2 points
	@cambyrd...?? I don't understand your comment. Were you suggesting that BunnySMG use "let alone" incorrectly? Because he didn't.

	cambyrd:	Dec 26th, 2012 at 04:20 GMT		0 points
	@moviegoer74, my comment is saying that $500 and $1000 bills are worth for more than their face values. If someone came into my office and paid a $500 bill for $500 worth of service, I would more excited than you could possibly imagine. A $500 typically goes for around $1000. Maybe her original comment is one of those that could be read either way. A buyer using a $500 bill would be an idiot. A seller accepting a $500 bill would be a genius. So BunnySMG may be owed an apology on that one.

	^The reason I didn't understand your comment is that that's the same thing BunnySMG was saying. That anyone would be crazy to accept face value for a $500 or $1000 bill. I mean, your comment is word for word the same comment as BunnySMG's except that you changed the last word from higher to lower, but BunnySMG's use of higher was clear and correct so I didn't understand what you thought you were correcting.

	dlutz77539:	Dec 26th, 2012 at 21:32 GMT		1 point
	I wonder if you didn't include the denominations in order, if people would remember that the $2 note is still in circulation, or would they go up to the $500?

	caramba:	Dec 27th, 2012 at 18:11 GMT		2 points
	I wonder why rbradatl's original comment keeps getting knocked down. He was technically correct, considering the original wording of the question, which was then changed after he made his comment.

	@caramba: I don't know. I just marked it up. I think diligence (even if slightly in error) like this should be rewarded.

	_the_doctor_:	Jan 11th, 2013 at 21:55 GMT		2 points
	And not a single one of them is named "Bill".

	no love for the 500, 1000, and 10000 denominations?

	Thought Woodrow Wilson would be a bonus.

	Oh, I was just not coming up with Grant for anything...
