	FYI: 1. If JFK and FDR are ok answers, then Ike should be accepted, too. 2. The $100,000 bill wasn't circulated; it was used only for transactions between banks and the fed.

	@floydpink The quiz does accept DDE for Eisenhower, but it doesn't accept Ike for the same reason it doesn't accept Abe for Lincoln (formalized unique initials versus a nickname). Yes, the $100,000 only circulated between banks but the distinction here is that I was not including the dozens of famous people immortalized on US Commemorative coins never intended for monetary use.

	Based on my score, I guess I don't see enough money. Which is exactly what I told my boss at my recent review.

	Please accept Sal Bass for Salmon Chase. Oh wait that was the other Salmon

	It's your quiz, but I disagree with drawing an equivalence between 'Ike' and 'Abe.' 'Ike,' as with JFK and LBJ and FDR, entered circulation primarily because of newspaper headlines. And so, Ike was regularly used in that fashion, and thus has a certain formality to it, even if a nickname. 'Abe' was not, nor was 'Jack' for JFK, nor was 'Frank' for FDR and so on and so forth.

	Great quiz. I enjoy seeing the variants of the repeat subjects.

	I'm not sure some of these are "regularly circulating"! I'd love to have a $10,000 bill circulate my way! LOL

	I love that you accepted "Charbonneau" to represent Sacajawea's son!
