Ya learn something new everyday I suppose[views:5856][posts:14]________________________________ [May 12,2004 5:49pm - retzam ""] Yeah, so I never really knew what the highest bill in US currency is, but today I found pictures of 500 dollar bills from the 30s. William McKinley is on them. I don't know if that is the highest bill though. Anyone know of any higher bill? |
