        Clearly, a Republican got to his pocket first, or this would have been found in a pawn shop.

        He had $55 dollars before the Republican got to his wallet.

        Is that a confederate five-dollar bill?

        Yes it is. Lincoln was known for carrying confederate bills. Some say it was to remind him of what could happen if he didn't succeed.

        I would guess no. Wash and Linc are 2 most important prez on most common bills. Doesn't explain Jackson though. So who knows?

        Many people don't realize that Abraham Lincoln was only 56 years old at the time of his death. Wife, Mary Todd went crazy after he died.
