Grover Cleveland's face appears on the US Thousand Dollar bill. He was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.MoreThe last $1000 bills were dated 1934 but were printed as late as 1945. In an effort to combat organized crime distribution of bills larger than $100 was halted in 1969 by a presidential order. Large-value bills were never withdrawn so technically you could still spend them, but most would be worth more than face value to a collector.
Bald eagles reproduce by forming monogamous pairs that engage in courtship displays. They build large nests, often in tall trees near water, where the female lays 1 to 3 eggs. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs for about 35 days until they hatch. After hatching, the parents share the responsibility of feeding and caring for the eaglets until they are ready to fledge.
The 2008 Bald Eagle $5 dollar gold coin was issued as Proof & Uncirculated, both were struck at the West Point Mint but just the proof coin has the "W" mintmark. Current market value is the same for the coins at $410.00.
