    I'm really excited about the elephant man, he's from the 60's according to a label on him...he is worse for wear but we are Alabama fans and can always spare room for a pitiful looking elephant headed man!

    Today I went hunting and found ... a jacket, a pair of trousers (avoiding the word pants to spare the blushes of the Brits) a hand blown Christmas ornament/whatsit, quilt squares in need of rescue, and some beads in need of fixing.

    No, and I can't think of any banknote that has what is usually called 'coin' orientation. What bills have is 'medal' orientation.

    Hi Lloyd,
    It is printed upside down but BESURE it is not a counterfeit bill. There are thousands and thousands of fake 1 dollar bills. The banks do not even try to catch them. I got four of them from a bank last year. I had a stash of 60 or so fakes that I pulled out of change over the last 10 years. Most were run off a color printer.

    Hope you are kidding about making paper money move with a magnet. I held a magnet over 2 different $10.00 bills and nothing happened.

    look at a coin to get to the other side you flip it vertically
    with a canada coin flip it horizontally same with bills fold it in 1 3rd and the other side should be upside down . I don't have another bill to compare , i gave Nick all my U S (for letting me store stuff at his house ) , to spend at the sturgis bike rally 2015 .
