A new blog - Pennylicious

Fun new blog. Not too many entries yet but it will be one to watch. The blog is Pennylicious and it's author writes about the lighter side of currency. An example:
Got Change for $200 Bill?

This happened in 2004: a customer ordered $2 worth of food at a Dairy Queen in Kentucky and paid with a $200 bill (complete with picture of the White House lawn with signs saying "We like broccoli") and got $198 change!
The author also posts about large legitimate currency (the biggest legal US bill is the $10,000 note with Salmon P. Chase on the front), the wonderful JSG Boggs, various famous counterfeiters. A fun read! Posted by DaveH at September 10, 2006 10:05 PM
