Question 78:

11 countries? I think there is more there. What is the latest country to join the Eurozone and adopt the currency?

[ZuckeR]

It have been 15 countries in 1999 which introduced the € as virtual money.
It have been 18 countries in 2002 which introduced the € as cash.
There are 22 countries which have the € by now, the last one joining Slovakia.

Question 79:

Here's another money question. What is the most widely-held reserve currency in the world?

[ZuckeR]

The US dollar has served in the role of world reserve currency since 1944 and ever since today does. By more than 60% in 2008 only followed by the EURO with almost 30% these two currencies make up to 90% of the world reserve. One of the biggest amounts of USD is probably in Chinese hands

Question 80:

Who was on the $100,000 bill?

[ZuckeR]

Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States
In 1929, Wilson's image appeared on the $100,000 bill. The bill, now out of print but still legal tender, was only used to transfer money between Federal Reserve banks.

Cool thing, i looked at the bill and thought this guy is Woodrow Wilson and i don't even know much about American Presidents. Then i noticed the name and it really was him.

Great Scott! Does this bill still exists?

Great Scott! Does this bill still exists?

I just found this here:

The $100,000 Gold Certificate was used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and was not circulated among the general public. This note cannot be legally held by currency note collectors.

So if the US government have none of them somewhere there are none anymore.

Question 81:

Who is credited with inventing the periodic table?

[ZuckeR]

There were two guys creating this independently at almost the same time. The were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and Julius Lothar Meyer and both published their system in 1869/1870. The system we use till today was the one created by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev.
