Facts About Your Money
• U.S. paper money is not paper at all: It’s 75% cotton and 25% linen. In Benjamin
Franklin’s day, people repaired torn bills with a needle and thread.
• Every month, 16 tons of old, cut-up cash goes to an energy-from-waste plant in
Chester, PA to be burned; the resulting steam produces electricity to power homes
throughout the Delaware Valley.
• With a life span of about 4 1/2 years, the $10 bill is our shortest-lived note. Our longest-living the $100 bill,
lasts only 15 years.
• It takes about 4,000 double folds (first forward, then backward) before a bill will tear. It takes far fewer folds
for a snooty vending machine to reject your bill-but you can fix that by popping your Washington in the mi-
crowave for 20 seconds.
• The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints 32.2 million currency notes each day, with a face value of
approximately $907.8 million.
• Two dollar bills are seen as a rarity, but there are more than 1.1 billion of them in circulation. You can find
them at most local banks.
• The largest note ever made was the $100,000 Gold Certificate (printed Dec 1934 through Jan 1935). The bills
were used only in transactions between Federal Reserve banks and the U.S. Treasury.
• A quarter has 119 grooves around its edge; a dime has 118. The grooves were added to make it difficult for
people to file down the edges and sell the shavings as precious metals.
• Benjamin Franklin reportedly designed the first U.S. penny, in 1787. Instead of “E Pluribus Unum,” it
proudly stated, “Mind Your Business.”
• It costs more than a penny to make a penny. According to the U.S Mint, it costs roughly 1.7 cents per coin.
• The bald eagle on your money may have a name. From 1830 to 1836, a certain bird swooped into Philadel-
phia’s US Mint building so often that workers named him Peter the Mint Eagle, cared for him, and allegedly
used him as a model for coin engravings for years after.
• There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar. Go on—try to find them all

Page 5 Updates at the IPS/WRAP/PSR corner:
IPS News-
The Employment Specialists, Meredith Grant and Karla Anderson continue to get job starts for the
persons served in the IPS program. They got 3 more starts this month with several other persons
served doing interviews. Way to go ladies! The team also prepares for Fidelity Review this month.
IPS is an evidence-based program that promotes employment as a crucial part of one’s recovery.
Anyone interested in working is eligible. If you know of a person served that could benefit from the
program and would like employment, please complete a referral form and submit to Aimee Unakis.
WRAP News
The WRAP group started on February 24 and is held on Fridays at 10:00 a.m. and is going very well.
We currently have 7 participants in the 12 week course. We hope to be able to launch a WRAP for
WORK Group in the evenings soon.
WRAP is voluntary and can be self-referred or referred by a service provider. WRAP is an evidence-
based program and can be beneficial when added to other forms of treatment. WRAP puts the Recov-
ery in the person’s hands. It is a self-guided foundation that assists persons served with creating
their own recovery plan. Recovery has NO limits and NO boundaries! If you know of a person served
that could benefit from the program, please complete a referral form and submit to Aimee Unakis.
PSR News -
PSR will be starting a new quarter and the team will be submitting a list of items for donation to as-
sist the new curriculums. Keep watching for the items needed and we’ll help you Spring Clean your
house!
PSR teaches or re-teaches living skills an individual may have lost or never learned during their men-
tal illness recovery. These skills help individuals through group and individual settings to learn to be-
come more independent and to realize their highest potential for a productive life.
If you know of a person served that could benefit from the program, please complete a referral form
and submit to Aimee Unakis.
There are some popcorn bags left from when the
Employee Recognition Committee passed out pop-
corn on Popcorn Lovers Day. If you would like a
bag of popcorn come to Human Resources and
pick up a bag.

Thought for the Month
It’s only when we truly know and understand that
we have a limited time on earth — and that we
have no way of knowing when our own time is up
— that we will begin to live each day to the fullest,
as if it was the only one we had.
