    Default How many people can you name off of bills and coins?

    Like the title asks, I was wondering how much people know about money other than it's value, and who knows the most.
    No cheating off of others, and you have to write a description to prove that you know who the person really is. You can't just say that Salmon Chase is on the ten thousand and add that to your list; you have to say what they did as well. This is just so people can't cheat.
    I'll be making a list of who can name off the most, and how many each person can name. You don't have to do only money in the US; if you live outside of America, you can name money there as well.
    Please do not use a source such as an encyclopedia or Google, type only what you know off of your head.

    I'll start it off. I'd prefer if people would put their answers in white text, so people who are trying don't glance over it.
    $1- George Washington. The first president of the USA, and a Revolutionary War general.
    $2- Thomas Jefferson. Writer of the Declaration of Independence.
    $5-Abraham Lincoln. Creator of the Emancipation Proclamation, a movement that ended slavery in America.
    $10-Alexander Hamilton. Creator of the Federalist party and large supporter of the Industrial Revolution.
    $20-Andrew Jackson. War leader in the Battle of New Orleans and the seventh president of the USA. He forced over 15,000 Cherokee Natives in Ohio along the Trail of Tears, 4,000 of which died.
    $50-Ulysses S. Grant. To be honest, I really don't know much about him. o,o"
    $100-Benjamin Franklin. He did not discover or create electricity, as many believe. He moreof proved that it existed in lightning.
