Holy crap! That's awesome!
1969 doesn't seem that long ago...but I guess it is long for a paper bill. Who knew?
I was wondering where this was going. That's a SUPER old bill. I wonder how many people have had that bill over it's life time, and I wonder how many people have had it recently and had no clue how old the bill was...interesting...
you've gotta wonder how it was preserved for so long - lost in someone's house etc, till it got back into circulation...
Wow, that's actually very cool. And informative. Way to be, Tacy.
Lets make a movie about the life of that 5 dollar bill. It would be fun wouldn't it. To see all the places and events it took place in.
wierd...i was wondering what the point of all the 1969 stuff was.
