i'm not sure how accurate this is but apparently the dollar ($) symbol originally started off as a letter "U" superimposed onto a letter "S" to indicate that the currency was from the US and over time the bottom of the U was dropped off as the dollar was adopted by other countries so it was just left as an S with 2 vertical lines through it.\ni'm not too sure about the other currency symbols though.

back a while in history, the equivalent of the dollar coin was breakable into eight pieces, each piece was a bit.\n\ni'm not sure if my memory is correct, but i think the english, the spanish, and early americans all did this.\n\nSo two bits is 2/8, or 1/4 of a dollar, so... $0.25

Due to a rise in copper prices in 1973 the mint resolved to do away with copper cents. 1.5 million aluminum cents dated 1974 were produced by the Philadelphia Mint. Opposition by the vending machine industry caused Congress to change its mind. All the aluminum cents were ordered to be recalled, counted and melted. None were released to the public. Only 12 examples remain unaccounted for, not counting one example in the Smithsonian. Several Congressmen and other government officials who were recipients of this experimental issue either claimed the pieces were lost or refused to return them.\n\nAs far as the worth, click then read the link below.

It has drifted out to $1.80 for 1 GBP, but I can remember when it was more like $1.50. Gpod news for Brits visiting America, as their pound goes further, bad news for Americans visiting England, as they get less for their dollar.

Greece followed suit on January 1, 2001. The Vatican City also participated in the changeover. This changeover is now complete.\n\nEuro bank notes and coins began circulating in the above countries on January 1, 2002. At that time, all transactions in those countries were valued in Euro, and the "old" notes and coins of these countries were gradually withdrawn from circulation. The precise dates that each "old" currency ceased being legal tender are noted in the table below...\n\n1.00 USD United States Dollars =  0.838647 EUR\nEuro

I believe that you're referring to a 'Silver CERTIFICATE'...back before FDR took us off the Gold Standard (back in the day, you could cash in your bills for silver or gold...the government used to actually guarantee the $$$ was there)\nThey ARE collector's items; I've always been better at spending money than holding on to it, so I have no idea what they're actually worth, but I'm pretty sure it's worth more than a dollar.  Like any other old stuff, the better condition it's in, the more it'll be worth.  My suggestion would be to go to e-Bay and run a search for "1935 Silver Certificate" - that should give you a fair idea of what they go for, without having somebody try to run a fast one on you.\n\nAlso, try this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Certificate\n\nHope this helps...let me know what you find out.

Unlike most countries in the world, when the government federalized money and it's printing, when bills and coins are replaced, they are still legal tender worth face value, regardless of their condition or age.  \n\nfor collectors, some money is worth much more than face value.  The value of the $2.00 bill, which has been widely circulated is pretty much still $2.00.  The real value in paper money is the silver and gold certificates...depending on the condition of the bill, can be worth thousands of $$$.
