PeacellsComming was kind of right...\n\nLincoln was considered a great president because he was able to end the Civil War and bring the country back together after it split apart.\n\nUp until Lincoln, U.S. money didn't have ANYBODY's picture on it. We were still a young country, and after our revolution, we didn't want to do things the way our old Mother Country did, England, where they had the King's picture on all the money.\n\nBut Lincoln was so special, we changed that, just for him. There's a history of the Lincoln Penny on the U.S. Treasury Dept.'s website. There's also a Treasury site on coins that could help you. They're below.

Because the street was up on a hill so was high. Broadway was so called because the was was broad enough for fours carts at first then cars. Wall Street is called that because when they first started building NY they built a wall around it to protect it from Indians. \nPS, this is not a dumb question.

i think it is the best show to inform children of the different money classed in the world, and that being humble with the simple sweet 16 party and a bowling alley or skating rink means that  no one hates you for it. I think that it is teaching the youth of next generation how to put themselves into debt. cause some loser with no money is gonna try to get in on one of these parties, and they are gonna stop at nothing to get it done. And it really doesn't happen as cheap as the rich kids on TV make it look. a BMW at it's best cost more than a small home in SC. Sickening.

Thicker pennies won't fit in the little gumball machines anymore. And they've pretty much always been the same length.\n\nIt would be really annoying to carry that much weight in your pocket for so little monetary value.

It was created in the 1920s out of a visceral dislike for (and suspicion of) private grain companies. It existed quite well, thank you, for many decades from the 1930s until the 1990s, when overexpansion put it into grave financial trouble. I still like the idea of a large co-operative as an alternative to conventional heartless capitalism business.

Oh, aye.  Dragon lurves pickles.  Especially The Pickles That Nobody Likes (which are so named so that people will think they are nasty, which leaves more for Dragon). :)  And croutons are nummy too.\n\nGood to have DW back! :) ♥

There are at least two possible origins, and both seem pretty believable:\n\nFirst: In the days of sailing ships when Sailors were paid a pittance, seamen drank their ale in taverns whose keepers were willing to extend credit until payday. Since many of he sailors were illiterate, inn keepers kept a tally of pints and quarts consumed by each sailor on a chalkboard behind the bar. Next to each person's name, a mark was made under "P" for pint or "Q" for quart whenever a seaman ordered another draught. \n\nOn payday, each seaman was liable for each mark next to his name, so he was forced to "mind his P's and Q's" or he would get into financial trouble. To ensure an accurate count by unscrupulous keepers, sailors had to keep their wits and remain somewhat sober. Sobriety usually ensured good behavior, hence the meaning of "mind your P's and Q's." \n\nSecond: "Mind your P's and Q's" is thought to have originated with printers who set headlines using movable type. If you've ever seen old type, you know the letters are mirror images of the regular alphabet. Lower-case P's look like Q's and vice versa. "Mind your P's and Q's" was a reminder not to mix up the letters when putting them back in the rack after use.

Because people are stupid. They won't boycott their favourite magazines and force an improvement in content/advert ratio. So you're getting the game of highest price for least content/quality that they can get away with.

It says "In God We Trust" because for millenia Christians had a lot of issues when it came to money. After all, Jesus said it was harder for a rich man to get into heaven than for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle. Money was seen as the root of all evil, and the very act of touching a dollar could bring about a bit of guilt in the Christian mind. \n\nSo, in order to make sure the economy moved along smoothly, and that no one felt guilty about spending and making money, they decided to put "In God We Trust" on the dollar. Handing that crisp dollar to the cashier could make your average Christian cringe, but then they would look down and there it was, "In God We Trust", and that would bring a smile to their faces. Suddenly they would feel confident about buying that ice cream, and might even buy double scoop, thereby doubling their trust in God! \n\nWell, it is a theory at any rate . . .

If you mean Abraham Lincoln, it was 1860.  I have no idea who "licon" is.

Specifically, it is obvious that one is a scam.  Generally, there is some scam going on in every part of this country.  In the case of Louisianna, the scam is on tax payers, as recent news reports indicate.  But who didn't see that coming?  When the government gets criticised (British spelling, for no good reason), it starts throwing money.  Why not?  At certain times it will admit that the money isn't theirs.

through out the thousands of years, the wind has shifted dirt and debris on top of it. \nJust think, say you dropped a Penney in your yard, and came back a year latter to get, leave would have decomposed into dirt, grass would have shifted, and you would have to move stuff around to find the penny.
