vik_thorI would like to thank everyone who participated in my money poll on the 7th.
My main reason was to find out how many people had heard of the Presidential $1 coins, due to a post in the WheresGeorge forums.
Secondarily was to see how many people were familiar with the $2 bill.
I have been using $2 quite regularly, and will be using the $1 coins.
Answers:
Current bill denominations: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100
Noone fell for my $3, $4, $25 teasers.
And, I do have to apologize, as my wording actually didn't accurately match what I wanted to ask. I should have phrased it: "Which of the following denominations are currently printed?" Because, according to the US Treasury site, while $500 and $1000 have not been printed since WW2, they have never been officially recalled. They are just treated as worn out currency and withdrawn from circulation and shredded.
Technically, if someone's rich grandma had squirreled some $500 or $1000 (or even $5000 or $10,000) bills, they would still be valid currency. They were mainly used for bank transfer payments, so probably never too many in general circulation. They would probably be worth more than face value to collectors... if they could afford that face value... :)
Current US coins:
1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-cent_piece_(United_States_coin) and 20¢ coins have been issues, but over 100 years ago, and only small quantities were issued.
The $2 coin is Canadian (and maybe some other countries), but not US.
Everyone knew about the State Quarter program, since it started in 1999.
2/3 knew about the Presidential $1 coins.
On the 7th, the next coin to be issued was the Washington $1
