Brain Game: Old Money
You don't see $2 bills like this very often, but they're legal tender and are still printed every few years. The reason I've shown you this particular currency note - and its portrait of Thomas Jefferson - is to help facilitate today's Brain Game. (Mouse over the image if you need a quick refresher of who appears on which denomination.) Good luck!
Take the men whose portraits currently appear on the
$1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills,
and place them in order from oldest (born first) to youngest.
THE SOLUTION:
