I thought that Hamilton was a President (silly me)
I didn't know you had a $10,000 bill.

1. He was the first Secretary of the Treasury and instrumental in the creation of a central bank.
2. We haven't had one since 1945.

Thanks Phil. I had looked at Wikipedia and edited my post while you did the same thing. I love control booth because you learn something new everyday.

...I didn't know you had a $10,000 bill...

I probably wouldn't have known about the $10,000 bill had it not been for Las Vegas.

From this site. The display was removed and sold off in the early 2000s, after Ted died/was murdered and sister Becky took control. Harrah's corporation later purchased the Horseshoe, primarily for the name "World Series of Poker," moved the tournament to the Rio, and again sold off the Horseshoe.

Also, watch the, very bad, 1982 movie, Jinxed, starring Bette Midler and Ken Wahl. Two $10,000 bills play a large role.

Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. Salmon P. Chase on the $10,000 bill. Lady Liberty on various coins.

Derek can you send me one of those Salmon P. Chase bills so I can get a better look at the picture.

Actually now that you mention it I remember seeing that million dollar display in the 90's in Vegas. I had forgotten about it... seems like it was kind of tucked down a back hallway in a weird location. As with everything else in Vegas you have to walk all the way through the casino to get to it.

<I think quoting the $10,000 bill is cheating just a little as it hasn't been printed since 1945 and was withdrawn from circulation in 1969.>

Darn!!!

(And to think I was saving those 25 Chase bills for a rainy day.... Now they probably won't be accepted at my favorite dining/wining establishment.)

And then theres the 1 trillion dollar bill on the Simpsons

Err No.

I can't allow the imbreds to be evicted. If we did, we'd have to laugh at ourselves rather than them... Besides, me like King Island Cheese

Sorry, but my long suffering everloving partner is from Launceston. I must at the very least stand neutral on this issue. Oh and Chris I agree about King Island cheese.

 

[Hughesie]

[Hughesie]

For those that do not know
Tasmanians are inbred and have two heads, and it is customary when meeting a Tasmanian to ask to see their scar of where they removed the second head
Tasmania Tasmania
what has Tasmania given us
hmmmm
nothing comes to mind
Except as Chris said, we laugh at them

 

[Reqel]

Oh by the way

Is there anyone from Tassie on CB

should have thought about that before I posted it

 

[Chris15]

Well Logos has Tasmanian connections if memory serves me correctly. And Tassie has given us a few things; King Island Cheese, Cascade Beer, Snail and Slug Pellets and I'm sure there are other things as well...

 

[Logos]

Boags beer, my TAFE qualifications, my wife.

I wom't show her your post though, she's good at hunting people down.

 

[Chris15]

...she's good at hunting people down.

So am I

Tony, beware... I know where you live

 

[Hughesie]

yeah i think my joke pushed it a bit too far, yours tipped it over the line

 

[Logos]

So am I
Tony, beware... I know where you live

That ain't hard, it's all over the net.

Don't worry Hughesie it's all in fun. At least in my case. But I'm still not going to show these posts to my wife.

 

[Reqel]

Hmmm

well my apologies if I offended anyone

I have never had the pleasure of tasting king island cheese, or meeting Logos wife
