Anyone answers that are right are greatly appreciated!!

Edit: Checking other's answer's now...

Edit2: Still checking, the bold is my answers on my sheet as of this point.
 
#10 - 35 years (guess)
Got the below from good ol' Google
#11 - Salmon P. Chase
#2 - $100

Guessing on #2 based on a page that says the big bills were discontinued in 1946, although they weren't taken out of circulation until 1969.

And did your prof really put (Indian) in paranthesis on the dollar coin question? I'm surprised a college prof wouldn't be deathly afraid of not using the PC term 'Native American'. But I guess you didn't say this is for a college class.

#7 - 5 I think. A quick Google search should get the 100% answer.
 
1) Revolutionary War

2) $10,000

3) Penny, Gold Dollar

4) $20 (I think)

5) Grant

6) Delaware

7) 5

8) Pyramd

9) Sacagawea

10) 30 years

11) Salmon P. Chase

:lol:

Hey punqsux! John Adams was on my $50. I got it from the woman who had the George Bush $200, lol. :lol: I could have just looked in the safe at work but I didn't want to cheat.
 
lol......... headline misled me to believe you could win money for correct answers..... then again, I probably misled myself. That usually is the case. :?
 
I don't think your #2 is correct Rich. Page I found says the big bills weren't printed after '46. And if you read it on the internet it must be true.

You're right, they stopped printing but continued distributing until the 60s. $100 is now the largest.

Also, the first US Notes were printed during the Civil War. That's probably the answer your teacher is looking for, though paper money was available for the Revolutionary War.

Also $1 is the most abundant bill
 
Okay, here's what I got before logging on and seeing everyone's answer:

1) Civil War

5)Grant
6) Delaware
7) 5

9) Sacagewea


Sorry if this title was a bit misleading. It wasn't on purpose honest! Thanks for everyone for answering. If anyone else has any of the other answers, please post! I'll look for them right now....and editing original post now...

Oh and I put indian since I was in a rush to post this during lunch at school. I'm changing that to Native American now. This is for Economics Honors in High School. Was going to take AP but then I would have 5 AP classes and 1 Dual-Enrollment Class.
 
I had conflicting reports on the average life span of U.S. coins. Some sites say 30 whiles others say 25. Well, one of them says they got their information from US Mint and the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, so I'm going to trust that one.

Now for the last two...
 
Largest denomination of US currency ever printed:

The largest note ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the $100,000 Gold Certificate, Series 1934. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury. These notes were used for transactions between FRBs and were not circulated among the general public


Screw it, I missed the post 1946 part
 
jbroush99, thanks for the help though. I saw that exact quote and I also forgot about the 1946 part.

Now, I am done. I'm sure at least most of these are correct. If I can remember which ones I miss, I'll post the correct answers or something tomorrow around lunch, unless I decide to do something else with a friend, if I can find her......
