John F. Kennedy George H. W. Bush Gerald Ford Donald Trump George Bush GEORGE BUSH dgrimm60 Answer: Before George H. W. Bush ever became a political icon, he was the captain of the Yale baseball team. Affectionately known by his teammates as "Poppy" back in his playing days, Bush played in the first two College World Series as a left-handed first baseman. As the 1948 team captain, Bush shook hands with Yankee legend Babe Ruth on June 5, 1948, at Yale Field, as the "Bambino" donated the manuscript of his book "The Babe Ruth Story" to the Yale Library. The moment shared between Bush and Ruth has proven to be a landmark meeting between two historic figures in different eras in American history.

Over time 37 more states were added to the Union. Vermont became the first state added to the Union following the 13 colonies on March 1, 1791. The name of the state is derived from “montagne verte”, which is French for green mountain. Today, Vermont’s mountains are a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders. It is the country’s leading producer of maple syrup and is the home of the popular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Vegemite is a thick, black food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Percy Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. Vegemite is considered as much a part of Australia's heritage as kangaroos and the Holden cars. It has become a unique and loved symbol of the Australian nation. The Australian rock band Men at Work refer to a "Vegemite sandwich" in the second verse of their 1981 hit song "Down Under".

Members phkrause Posted September 4, 2018 Author Members Posted September 4, 2018 20 hours ago, phkrause said: What Was the Largest Denomination Bill Ever Made? The largest bill issued was the $100,000 gold certificate in 1934, which featured Woodrow Wilson. However, this gold certificate was only used between financial institutions, and it is illegal for anyone to have one of the bills in his or her possession as a collector. The next highest denomination was the $10,000 blue seal note issued in 1918, featuring Salmon P. Chase, who was Secretary of the Treasury from 1861 to 1864. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Roughly 90-94% of US Money is Laced with What Drug? A 2009 study found that 90-94% of all US currency has traces of cocaine on it, a number that is up nearly 20% from when they did the study two years earlier. The traces come from people using money to buy cocaine, using rolled bills to snort it and just the general fact that money frequently touches other money. It is also believed that the rollers and brushes inside ATM machines further spread the cocaine across stacks of bills. Of course, if you're worried about dirty money, it doesn't just stop with drugs. Bills also frequently have E. Coli, Staphylococcus and fecal matter on them. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Why Was the Secret Service Formed Originally? In 1865, the Secret Service was instituted as a part of the Department of the Treasury to battle the counterfeiting of American currency and was headed by William Wood. Two years later, their duties were expanded to include detection of fraud, including smuggling, land fraud, mail robbers, and the activities of the KKK. After being moved to New York in 1870, the Secret Service returned to Washington, D.C. in 1874 and has been headquartered there ever since. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: How Did Benjamin Franklin Use Nature to Print Bills Meant to Foil Counterfeiters? Counterfeiting was a problem during the Colonial days of early America and weakened the economic system, but printer Benjamin Franklin had an idea that would allow people to tell whether or not a bill was genuine. The first of the bills designed by Franklin were issued at the beginning of 1756 for Pennsylvania and pictured the William Penn coat of arms but also contained a nature print, which was raised and made by using real leaves, making it difficult to replicate. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Where Did the Word Greenbacks Originate as a Name for Paper Money? In 1861, the U.S. Treasury was authorized by Congress to issue Demand Notes that were not interest bearing to finance the cost of the Civil War. They became known as greenbacks because the bills were printed on green paper. All of the American currency that has been issued since 1861 still holds its value and can be redeemed.
