A single company (Crane and Co.) has always produced the paper to make U.S. currency.

It has remained this way ever since 1775, when Paul Revere used paper from Stephen Crane’s paper mill for some of the United States first banknotes. Crane & Co. has been the sole company that has always produced the unique paper for U.S. Currency.

The original purpose of the Secret Service was to fight money counterfeiting.

In July 1865 the U.S. Secret service was formed to fight early counterfeiting at the end of the Civil War.

People use pennies to stop garden pests

It’s an odd thing but some people swear by it. If you bury pennies in the garden, the copper and zinc in the pennies will generate electric shocks for garden pests. Most people use them to deter snails. Nowadays there is more zinc than copper in pennies.

The most valuable US coin is the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel, it sold for $3.7M in 2010.

It was a five-cent piece produced in extremely limited quantities unauthorized by the U.S. Mint. So it’s like the rebel of the coin world. There are only 5 in the world ever known to exist and two are in museums while the other three are in private collections.

There is more Monopoly Money printed every year than real money

If you take the combined value of all U.S. money printed each year, it’s between $696M – $974M (most is just to replace old worn money). Yet Parker Brothers reported that the combined fictitious value of their monopoly money, meaning add up all of their orange $500 bills, yellow $100 bills, purple $50 bills, green $20 bills, blue $10 bills, pink $5 bills and white $1 bills, that combined fictitious value is $30 Billion. That’s with a “B”. So nearly 30 times as much Monopoly money than U.S. bills created every year.

Each one comes with $20,580. I am trying to figure the math, but apparently they sell somewhere around 1 million 458 thousand monopoly games per year. You would think almost every household in America would already have at least one game.

There may be 1 game in every American household, but there are many billions more to fill worldwide.

The Indian Head nickel, Ben Franklin half dollar coin, and Susan B Anthony dollar coin also have the figure facing right.
