George Washington's intriguing Farewell address was designed to warn America about establishing any permanent alliances with other countries that would drag the country into unwanted commitments. Washington wanted to ensure that Americans and his successors would preserve the foundation and values in which the country was founded upon, while still maintaining integrity and honesty within the Presidential Office. Washington emphasizes the need to preserve liberty by using inspiring and direct phrases such as, "you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety..." Hope this brief interpretation clarified Washington's Farewell address a bit!
Try that again. Washington is on the quarter, and Jefferson is on the nickel. To give a specific value, ask about a specific date.
No way of valuing this without knowing country (Canada?), the year it was issued and which King George. Different years have different values.
The snuff used in Thomas Jefferson's day isn't what we call snuff today. Back then, snuff consisted of tobacco ground so fine it was virtually powder. The user would then take a small pinch of the tobacco and snort it.
In the United States of America, the Secretary of Treasury that is in office at the time the paper currency is printed is whose signature appears on the actual bill. It is the same signature used for all currency values: $1, $2, $5, $10, etc. Therefore, the signature will vary from year to year based on who actually held that office the year that the currency was printed.
