Everyone knows the million dollar bill has the Statute of Liberty
on it.  http://www.milliondollarsales.com/index.htm

Did I mention on this list that I have held a box holding items
worth over a billion dollars in it?  The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing has a traveling "Billion Dollar Exhibit" that we bring
to various numismatic exhibitions.  It features more than a billion
dollars of antique currency, Treasury bonds, and gold and silver
certificates.  I was filling in for my boss and had to help
inventory the box contents before it got put back in a vault.
