I live in the UK and prior to COVID would probably use a £20, £10, or £5 every day. Other than Elizabeth II; without looking it up I couldn’t tell you who is on any of them. ---

I would’ve gotten that. Okay, but who here can say, **without looking it up** , who was on the $10,000 bill? Yes, there really was a US $10,000 bill! ---

If they showed the contestants the bill, and they didn’t know it, that’s one thing. But honestly I could not think just now who was on the $5. I just don’t see that bill as often as the others I guess. I always remember the $10 because of the “Ham for Ham” $10 _Hamilton_ tickets. ---
