    Probably old news to you folks, but interesting for newbies like me:

    "When Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase designed the original $1 bill in 1862, he put his own picture on it."

    My only example. Bought it from a lady at work that said the local coin shop only offered her $100 for it.
