<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 2499235, member: 17469"]Jacques Coeur is the man on that note, and "coeur" is french for "heart". Coeur was a French merchant in the 15th century, and other than his last name, I don't know of another reason the watermark area would be heart-shaped. I have not heard this note called a "sweetheart bill" before, but I guess the story can be made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
