Recently, a couple of "wise guys" went pub crawling in Greenwich Village. At the first stop one paid for drinks with a crisp twenty dollar bill. Presumably, he pocketed the change for he paid for the second round with a new twenty. An off-duty seasoned bartender observed this unusual transaction and grew suspicious as to the validity of the currency. At the second stop he alerted the bouncer who turned them away. By the third watering hole the police had arrived and one "wise guy" had $480. in his underwear. Coincidentally, there is a movement afoot to replace Andrew Jackson's portrait on the twenty with the face of a prominent deceased woman i.e. Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks, etc. As info the Canadian dollar coin has the likeness of the loon. All things considered it has not been a good week for Old Hickory. From ignominy to oblivion!
