        That's actually a Confederate $5 bill.

        It would be a better joke if it were him on the bill.

        Nope. Just the kind of guy who points out weird facts to people making jokes that are less funny than the facts themselves, who then get all huffy about it because of how full of themselves they are.

        My guess is it was a token to remind him of something.

        Found this in Business Insider article: "Lincoln's possession of a Confederate bill remains a mystery....The bill was likely a souvenir from the president's victorious visit to the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia only ten days earlier."

        He prob carried it for the same reason he had a band play Dixie at the White House when news of Lee’s surrender reached Washington. Reunification was heavily on his mind

        Why two sets of eyeglasses you ask? Lincoln was known to enjoy picking on nerds.
