The New Wilsonians

They light their cigars with $10,000 bills. Plus much, much more, including fresh love/hate mail.

(Page 5 of 16)

br> -- Mitch Manthey br> Green Bay, WI /p>

First of all, I believe Wilson ended up on a $100,000 Treasury note of some kind. (Although it was not a dollar bill, so the point remains.)

p>More importantly, all those possibilities and you couldn't even mention Louis Armstrong? (OK, how about we drop McKinley from the $500 and put it back into circulation with Satchmo's picture?) br> -- John Hasley /p>

As charming an article as this is, it contains one grave factual error:

Woodrow Wilson is indeed on a greenback. In fact, he’s on the biggest, baddest of them all: the $ 100,000 bill. Hence the term "Wilsonmobile" for a very expensive car.

p>Money's a serious issue. Don't mess with it. br> -- Dan Kjerulf br> Copenhagen, Denmark
