Who's on the 100,000 Dollar Bill?

For reasons beyond my understanding, my office was closed on President's Day. So as a thank you to the noble men who made it possible for me to sleep til 10:30 and watch the rest of my netflick, here are some oft-forgotten spendable Presidential portraits.

Jefferson on the $2.


McKinley on the $500.


Cleveland on the $1000.
ALSO! Did you know that Grover Cleveland married his best friend's hot 21 year old daughter while he was president and she was in college? Well, hot by those days' standards. Seriously, guys. Wikipedia is full of historical knowledge. LEARN!

Madison on the $5000.


And finally, the big kahuna. On the $100,000, the largest US denomination ever printed...

WOODROW WILSON!


Tragically, no bills higher than $100 are currently in production or likely to ever be printed again. But don't fret, obscure-President-currency lovers. The US Mint has already begun the Presidential $1 Coin Program! Started in 2007, the Presidential $1 Coin Program (or P$CP!) is the ambitious undertaking to engrave every single President onto their very own limited edition dollar coin at the rate of 4 per year. Not excited yet? What if I told you that the William Henry Fucking Harrison coin is being released this Thursday, February 19th 2009!?

Better grab a sleeping bag and some Clif bars, because the lines at your local Federal Reserve Bank are going to put the iPhone to shame.
