Museum of American Finance

After organizing the colonies' debts in 1972, the United States’s first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, issued a historic document—a bond made out to George Washington for $182.95. It wasn't the amount that lent the bond historic importance, or even the fact that it was signed by Washington, but that its value was expressed with a dollar sign, the symbol's first appearance on a federal document. At the Museum of American Finance, this bond is displayed alongside other artifacts from similarly historic moments throughout the history of American economics, giving visitors a unique perspective on the country's financial foundation. Juxtaposing this historical perspective are the museum's rotating exhibits, which offer insight on more recent financial affairs such as the credit crisis and the campaign to put Snoopy's face on the dollar bill.

The Groupon Guide to: Wishes

Genies, like fathers, exist solely to give you everything you want. If you’re lucky enough to have a trapped benevolent soul in your life, here’s what you should ask for:

  • An end to all crimes, except the ones you commit

  • A car with a person in it, so you can always use the carpool lane or park in the loading zone of Staples if you're just going to be one second

  • The ability to look at someone and know exactly why they’re crying

  • A trip around the world to meet every dog

  • To find true love so that you can destroy it and then write a really touching book about the whole thing

  • Exactly one more wish

Are some people cheating their way into the carpool lane?
