I believe the $10.00 note is worth so much due to its serial number.Something like A000000000001.

How many of those Finnish wreaths can one buy with multiple 1933 $10 bills?

It was a silver certificate with a peculiar serial number. It was issued when American currebct was shrunk to its current size. American currency is unique among world currencies in that every denomination is the same size. Most are like Hong Kong currency, when I first went there I bought a “local” wallet to hold the oversize, higher denomination bills.

Don’t hang that wreath on your front door. In fact, what’s the fun of having a wreath like that? Where can you put it? It’s like having the Hope Diamond. You can’t wear it anywhere.

He doesn’t care about the medals anymore. He knows the presentation was just politics with no personal meaning. He does have some irritation that he didn’t get them when they were due.
