these are the most popular denominations of paper currency in the United States at this time we have the one dollar bill the two dollar bill the five dollar bill the ten dollar bill the twenty dollar bill the fifty dollar bill and the 100 dollar bill the men whose pictures are drawn on these various forms of currency each had interesting lives and we will talk a little about these men on money first of all the $2 bill yes there is a $2 bill it's not as popular as the other forms of currency but you will find two dollar bills now and then the two dollar bill has the portrait of a fellow named Tom Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson who had something in common with Ben Franklin both of these men were authors and they were inventors among other things we'll talk more about them both as we progress Ben Franklin also had something in common with Alexander Hamilton neither one of these men Alexander Hamilton and then Franklin neither one was President of the United States now there are three people here who had something in common Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson and Alexander Hamilton each of these men was shot each one received a bullet wound Alexander Hamilton died in a duel he was shot by Aaron Burr who was a former vice president of the United States they had a duel and Alexander Hamilton was shot and he died the following day Abe Lincoln was assassinated he was shot and he died the following day Andrew Jackson had a duel with someone the other person shot first and the bullet lodged near Andrew Jackson's heart now one might think Andrew Jackson lost that duel he did not with the bullet near his heart Andrew Jackson slowly took aim at his opponent who was reloading and Andrew Jackson shot him and killed him so we can say some of these people had rather interesting experiences in their lives Ben Franklin was struck by lightning Ben Franklin was an excellent swimmer at a time when most people did not know how to swim Ben Franklin was a writer he was a publisher he was one of seventeen children and he started out poor and he became wealthy as time passed if you really want to spend 15 minutes at least of laughing look for quotes quotes of men Ben Franklin he was like the Groucho Marx Ben Franklin and Abe Lincoln each you'll find quotes from each of these men they could have been Saturday Night Live hosts and the show Saturday Night Live would be much improved with their presence speaking of being shot Elissa s grant was in battle riding on a horse and his horse was shot out from underneath him u.s. grant was a general and a farmer and a President Andrew Jackson was a general he was a farmer and he was a president George Washington was a general he was a farmer and he was a president what these men went through as far as their medical condition over the years is this some idea of their toughness George Washington at age 15 had diphtheria which is a life-threatening illness during his lifetime he also had smallpox he had tuberculosis and he had occurring and reoccurring bouts with malaria Thomas Jefferson weather was the third president George Washington was the first Thomas Jefferson sort of had smallpox he was inoculated against smallpox and during that era of the early 1800s getting an inoculation what we might call a vaccination today that it was not actually vaccination being inoculated against smallpox meant that you got a mild case of smallpox Thomas Jefferson also was an attorney and he represented doctors who gave smallpox inoculations who often found themselves being victims of beatings and sometimes their houses were burned because people were afraid that the inoculation would cause an outbreak of smallpox Abraham Lincoln probably probably had smallpox when he delivered his Gettysburg Address again a life-threatening illness and he probably had smallpox General Grant did not have smallpox but a lot of his Union army generals and men did have smallpox during the Civil War and so it affected his actions during that war as a general Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson when he was a prisoner of war at age fourteen during the Revolutionary War he and his brother both were being held by the British in a prisoner of war camp both of the young men developed smallpox Andrew Jackson's mother went to the prison and asked for the release of her sons who were both very ill and then on one horse Andrew Jackson's mother and his very ill brother rode back 45 miles to where they lived and Andrew Jackson walked without a jacket and without shoes in rainy weather forty five mile walk while he had smallpox and was thought that he would die he did become delirious but he recovered while he was a prisoner of war he received a slashing with a sword a British officer told Andrew Jackson to clean his boots Andrew Jackson refused the British officer pulled out a sword and tried to strike Andrew Jackson in the head Andrew Jackson held up his arm to deflect the blow and he received a cut that went all the way to the bone Benjamin Franklin who was possibly his highest office was ambassador to France he was never president as I mentioned before one of his sons died of smallpox and Andrew Jackson our unit of measurement Franklin Benjamin Franklin very early suggested people getting inoculated against smallpox and he wished that he had had his family inoculated George Washington did not attend college Ben Franklin quit school at age 10 to go to work Abraham Lincoln had about one year of actual schooling Andrew Jackson did not attend college what would these men be doing today if they were around George Washington would be a farmer Thomas Jefferson it was a great attorney among other things he would be an attorney representing people who were down on their luck or a very poor or people who had medical conditions Abraham Lincoln would be a stand-up comic and he would be a movie star who would do Jim Carrey type movies Alexander Hamilton would be secretary of the Treasury still or he might be a financier with some Wall Street firm ulysses s grant would be a horseman he was a great horseman and he would probably raise thoroughbreds for the Kentucky Derby Andrew Jackson would be a masked professional wrestler Benjamin Franklin we know what he would be he would be a youtuber
