The Value of a Dollar
by Edith Rudy


How much money can you find in this dollar sign?   Thirty-five amounts of American currency (including one savings bond) are hidden across, backwards, up, down, and diagonally in the grid of letters-always in a straight line.   Find them, circle them, and keep track of your balance in the column on the left.   (TEN-SPOT is circled as an example, and its value -- $10 -- is shown in the column.)   Each answer contains five or more letters, and there is no answer within another (i.e., if you were to circle THIRTY-FOUR CENTS, you would not also count FOUR CENTS).   Caution: Count face values only, not collectors' prices.   Also, do not count any value for the THREE-DOLLAR BILL or the WOODEN NICKEL.   They are worthless!
