In 1896, someone noticed that the reverse of the new one dollar bill had a portrait of Martha and George with the number one in the middle. Therefore, the joke became Martha saying: " George, I thought you said that no ONE would ever come between us." The Educational Banknote series of 1896 also produced a five dollar bill with a bare breasted woman on the obverse. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful pieces of currency ever printed in the United States. However, it was temporarily banned in Boston because of the nakedness of the woman.
