About Face

Did the early leaders of our nation truly realize they were making history – so much so that their pictures would exchange hands millions of times a day? Call it what you want – moolah, greenbacks, smackers, dough or cold, hard cash – the question still remains: if these early leaders were alive today to see their faces on United States currency, how would they feel? What extraordinary memories would they have? What wisdom would they share? In this creative, historically rich reflection, Autumn Kirsch explores the impact these leaders had in shaping the United States, through the lens of the leaders themselves, all while helping you brush up on your knowledge of who’s who on the front of each dollar bill denomination.
