    Your title is: USA's 3rd President on Currency. Is that the 3rd president or the 3rd on currency?

    I understand that although Adams is typically counted as the 2nd president of the USA, George Washington was indeed the 2nd president our country had (we had a president under the Articles of Confederation prior to our current Constitution) thereby making Adams the 3rd. No allusion was made to this fact in your article, and it made me wonder which you had meant.

    Was this intentional?

    Hi mikenoodle....

    My Presidential order under the United States of America conforms to the US Mint's creation of the Presidential Dollar series. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, etc.

    The refereed to link, "National Bank Notes" is not a link but a subheading. I don't know how it became blue. It wasn't blue when I typed the article...
