The Founding Father on a Fin: Where to Find George Washington on Your Cash
Let's face it, folks, our wallets can get a little...well, dull. But fear not, for nestled amongst the receipts and that crumpled lottery ticket you forgot about (hey, maybe it's a winner!), there's a historical treasure waiting to be rediscovered: the mighty George Washington!
That's right, the first president of the United States isn't just chilling in dusty history books (although, let's be honest, he probably has a pretty comfy chair there). He's also gracing the face of a very familiar piece of American currency. But can you guess which one?

The Great Denomination Debate: A One-Dollar Dilemma
Hold onto your hats, trivia buffs, because we're about to crack the code. While George Washington might look dapper enough to grace a twenty or even a hundred, you'll actually find him on a much humbler piece of paper: the single dollar bill. Yes, the one you use for that oh-so-satisfying gumball purchase or that slice of greasy goodness from the corner pizza joint.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
There you have it! George Washington, the revolutionary leader, is now the face of revolutionizing your snacking habits (sort of).
Fun Fact: Washington wasn't always the star of the show on the one-dollar bill. Back in the day, you might have seen Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase staring back at you. But hey, who wants a fish on their money when you can have a founding father?
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
So You Found George? Now What?
Well, first of all, congratulations! You've officially spotted a piece of American history. But beyond that, there's not much you can do with your newfound knowledge besides, perhaps, wowing your friends at your next trivia night.
(Unless you're secretly planning to overthrow the government with an army of singles, in which case, we here at Not-So-Serious-Finance recommend against that.)
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
