   About a year ago I heard Paul Harvey on the radio talk about U.S.
paper money.  A lot of interesting facts, such as whose picture is on
such and such bill, etc.

   The most interesting fact was about the 3-dollar bill.  Yes, a
3-dollar bill!  It existed in the first half of this century, and
was published by a bank in (I think) New York.  Furthermore, if you
have one of these bills, it is still legal tender and can be used.  Of
course nobody but a large bank would accept it from you and if you had
such a bill you wouldn't change for three dollars ...

   I have three trivia questions that I got from his talk:

1- You won't believe this one when you see the answer!  Whose picture was
on the three dollar bill?

2- What is the largest bill (face value-wise) that was ever printed.

3- Whose picture is on the bill in question #2.

   I will post the answers in about a week.
