@BeschlossDC Any relationship to the decision to put Lincoln's portrait on the $5 bill, and fact that one was found in his pocket? -
it's a CSA bill if you look closely. he kept it as a souvenir.

Turns out Donald Trump has released his own pic of what was in Lincoln's pockets when he died. Abe was a big fan too.
