I hope it's CRAP (meaning I hope there's more than one)...Although I don't know if Canuckistan has ever had a woman on its money.

Ha! I'd conveniently forgotten about her...mainly because I was trying to think about Canadian women who might've been on our money.

You're right about that. No Canadian women on our currency. The BOC is looking to add someone on there to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Not specifically a woman but the larger public seems to want to have one on there. The new note will be out in 2017 or something like that.

FACT or CRAP ?


FACT

Martha Washington's portrait appeared on U.S. notes in 1886, 1891, and again in 1896. Appropriate, since it is believed that George married Martha for love, and her money!



SO BB I'm guessing the catch here is the WORDING AGAIN [ portrait appeared & printed ]

In 1961, Predident Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and as of 2014 is the only U.S. president born outside of the continental United States.

I guess they're not counting coins (which, I suppose, involves stamping and not printing). This is starting to feel like Trivial Pursuit where the wording is (intentionally?) confusing.

Obviously CRAP. Obama is a Muslim terrorist from Kenya, or maybe Indonesia, wherever that is, but is definitely NOT an American, he's not like us, duh.
