The Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss is on American money. How well do you know the faces on your money? I got 11 out of 12 right; I only missed a bill that I’d never seen before. To be honest, there are several I'd never seen before, but I guessed right on some. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/13888

did you miss the $1000?
that's the only one i couldn't remember. darn.
Interesting fact: The one-hundred-thousand-dollar bill was a gold certificate rather than a silver certificate, and was red on the back rather than green. Nothing was on the back but a stylized number 100,000 and the usual fancy engraving, such that I notice has all but disappeared from modern notes.
