Random Facts Friday July 22, 2011

 Hi all,
These are some facts I have learned recently.
See if you already know them!

1. The U.S. Treasury is not making as many 5 dollar bills as they used to. In fact, production fell to a 30 year low.  The $100 bill continues to remain popular especially among foreigners living in unstable economies. The Treasury actually printed more $100 bills than $1 bills as people use their debit/credit cards more than cash.

2. Nineteen NASA shuttle astronauts were born/raised in Ohio and call it home.

3. Great idea to hide small valuables in your home: http://makeprojects.com/Project/Doortop-Stash/638/1
