Got 10 which I think is respectable for an English person on a very American quiz!

Lady Liberty was on the half dollar, too, before JFK.

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

i agree except i believe that the $100,000 dollar bill was not for public use...

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.

The $10,000 bill has all the presidents on it, they're having a party, Jimmy Carter is passed out on the couch.

I suggest adding the $2. It is in circulation.

Jefferson's on the $2 and he's already on the list for the nickel. It's the same reason $1 and $5 aren't on the list either.

Interesting! Wonder why Cleveland and McKinley were included- and on such highly-valued bills.

kalbahamut

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.

Wilson was on the $100,000 bill. Not many of those in circulation.

A google search turned up the answer that Sec. of Treasury Andrew Mellon chose all the people who appear on paper currency, and he chose the people he most admired. BTW, I have several $100,000 bills but Art Linkletter is on them.

SophR

Jefferson's on the $2 as well, apparently, and wasn't there a $100,000 with Wilson on it? Anyway, this would be a good idea for the UK. Maybe not include the Queen, though.

The Queen is on all our notes and coins, with notable British people on the reverse of notes, such as Darwin, Elizabeth Fry, Adam Smith etc.

Here they are, from easy to hard:
People currently on English banknotes
People on all English banknotes since 1970
People on all British banknotes, including Scotland and N.Ireland

For the quarter you should also accept Barbara Bush.

The Wright Brothers were on a quarter once.

pretty easy for a former coin collector. 2:51 left with 100%. agree with former comments that you may as well add all the other bills that used to be in circulation.

Of course now the $1 gold coins feature many different presidents, not just Sacagawea. I have a Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, Garfield, Fillmore, Pierce, Hayes, and Taylor right here in front of me.

And I hate to break the news to you, bomber, but when you reach higher levels you have to get 1000 points to level up. That's a lot of quiz-taking.

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...

A couple years back the US Mint also printed dollar coins with all of the presidents on them.
