Happy Independence Day!

July 4th, 2011

We know you’re as busy as we are getting ready to eat hot dogs (in celebration of America’s declaration of we’re-not-going-to-take-it-anymore), so let’s make this quick:

Q: Who was the first U.S. President to appear on a U.S. coin?

A:

Our man Lincoln was the first dead president to decorate an American coin. He started his monetary career on the lowly penny in 1909, and can now be found on 5 dollar bills from Tuscaloosa to Juneau.
