The original question was which letters on the left match which cities
on the right and why?  (At least this is what I meant.)

Well, they all have Federal Reserve banks and produce bills with these 
letters on them.
Here's how they match:

	A			Boston, MA
	B			New York, NY
	C			Philadelphia, PA
	D			Cleveland, OH
	E			Richmond, VA
	F			Atlanta, GA
	G			Chicago, IL
	J			Kansas City, MO
	L			San Francisco, CA


I have been told from several people  on the net that other cities
and letters belong in the above list, too.  I know that.  But I didn't
have any bills in my wallet from those cities.  I still don't.  So far
i have been told that H is definitely St. Louis, MO and K is definitely
Dallas, TX.  I have also ben told there are Federal Reserve banks in 
Minneapolis, MN, Denver, CO and Indianapolis, IN.
  Now I've never seen a bill from Indianapolis before so this was a real
surprise.  I think maybe its a surprise to the Federal Reserve bank
system too.  Is there really a F.R. bank in Indy or is someone just
making lousy counterfeits?  And I thought Denver only made pennies.

  If the letters were assigned alphabetically east to west, then why
is Cleveland, OH letter 'D' and Richmond, VA letter 'E'?
