Somethings:

Sacagawea is on the gold dollar

The $500 and $1000 dollar bills aren't in circulation anymore. If you are adding ones in circulation add:

$5000 James Madison

$10000 Salmon P. Chase

$100000 Woodrow Wilson

Right. I believe it was for war debts. I think they only made a few and were never circulated. Still fun trivia though. And considering this website is trivia website, I think they should be included.

Agree - though, as mentioned, the nickel would be redundant in the quiz. Still, I'd much rather see the less well known bill on the quiz than the ubiquitous nickel.

Yeah... seems almost insulting to put them on money over Teddy Roosevelt, John Adams, or Woodrow Wilson. Though perhaps when printed Wilson was considered too recent. They could have swapped in the other two, though. Or even Polk.

@snix: Actually, none are in circulation. From a Fandom site for Currencies (who knew?), I found "...many of the 42,000 examples printed were destroyed by the government, and as a result, only a few specimens are known to exist today. All of the surviving notes have been accounted for, and are currently in the hands of the United States Government; thus, private ownership of a legitimate example is illegal."

Interestingly, the article also says "The note technically still holds the status of legal tender, but has not seen circulation since the 1960s."

I wonder if some enterprising soul has evaluated the cost benefit ratio of stealing one? After all, $100k will buy a robust legal defense! ;-)

McKinley had been assassinated not so long before the notes were created, so probably very similar reason to Kennedy being on the half-dollar. (Bracing for abuse from Kennedy Fans.)

For Cleveland, I got nothing. Maybe because of his non-consecutive terms. :-o

I think this quiz would be improved by including all the denominations of coins and bills. Because of the duplication, it would have to be set up as an "Answer must correspond to highlighted yellow box," style quiz, but many more questions could be added.

Why not call a cent by its proper name rather than the slang use of penny? I didn't see "buck", "sawbuck" or "double-sawbuck" on the quiz so why "penny"? Pennies were used by the tyrannical government our forefathers so desperately wanted to be freed from. Our numismatic history goes back to the Coinage Act of 1792 and from Day One, it was called a cent, as in one per cent of a dollar. Let's embrace the name "cent" while we still have it around. There, I'm done...

Quizmaster just wanted to avoid duplicate answers. George Washington is on the $1 bill and 25 cent coin. Abraham Lincoln is on the one cent piece and $5 bill. Thomas Jefferson is on the 5 cent piece and the $2 bill. The present dollar coins are rarely seen in circulation. They are very unpopular. They are mostly seen in collector sets from the US Mint. I also think the Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea dollars are just ugly. Those coin were designed and put into circulation just to be politically correct.

This should definitely include the $1 and $5 bills.
