James Madison, USA's Third President, on Currency: Somehow I titled this TRIVIA: instead of TRIVIA: President James Madison on Currency. USA Circulation Coins: There is only one USA coin bearing an image of James Madison on it. It is the fourth Presidential Dollar issued in 2007. Mind you, all four Presidential Dollars were issued in proof, as a set, early in 2007. Also note, many coin dealers and collectors are acquiring and offering singles and sets in edge lettering varieties "A" and "B".

Very interesting piece. I'd never heard of or seen the Isle of Man coin before. Thanks for helping me to learn something new this morning.
I've heard of a $5000 note, but didn't really believe they existed. Thanks for clearing it up....and as usual, thanks for the always good and enlightening info.
