The U.S. Department of the Treasury first issued paper U.S. currency in 1862 to make up for the shortage of coins and to finance the Civil War. There was a shortage of coins because people had started hoarding them; the uncertainty caused by the war had made the value of items fluctuate drastically. Because coins were made of gold and silver their value didn't change much, so people wanted to hang onto them rather than buy items that might lose their value.
In case you were wondering, I got these useless facts at Fact Monster.
Secondary Prize Option
We realize that not everyone will be intrested in the monthly prize (which would be really crazy this time). That's why we've decided to offer a secondary prize option each month. Contest winners living outside the continental U.S. or those not interested in our standard prize can receive a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com instead. If you win the contest we will send an email asking which option you prefer before mailing out the prize.
