Message:: [QUOTE="dursin, post: 578382, member: 17425"]Thanks.  To be honest, the first name that popped in my head was Arthur Friedberg, but then I thought what connection could he have to a German note.  I then remembered that "Pick" numbers were used to catalog world currency, but never knew that was actually named after someone until I did a little more "research".  I spent a lot of time on "dead ends" too....like the "Music" tangent I went off on (thought lettow was being tricky) and then I found that article numbered 8855 (matching the note) in a GERMAN library and it was about the US Dollar and the Euro so I really spent some time following that lead! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  So not only did I win, but I sure learned a lot today.  On the downside, I had to spend about an extra hour at work to catch back up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
