DEAD PRESIDENTS AND OTHER WORTHY OFFICIALS

  A Monday, February 9th article in the Express Times of
  Pennsylvania published the following about counterfeit money
  turning up recently:

  "While the U.S. Secret Service and city police investigate the
  incidents, area cashiers should get more familiar with their
  dead presidents, said Wachovia Bank spokesman Jim Baum.

  "Know your presidents and know what president goes on
  what bill. If you find a $20 bill and it's got George Washington
  on it, you know you've got a problem," he said. Andrew
  Jackson  is the president that appears on genuine $20 bills.

  People who work cash drawers should also pay attention to
  bills' serial numbers, coloration and paper quality, Baum said."

  QUIZ QUIZ:  They're all dead, but they're not all Presidents.
  Which portrait(s) on current U.S. paper money are NOT of
  U.S. Presidents?"
