Since it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle, I'll mention again that this one pairing is a mismatch; the American 100-dollar note pictures Independence Hall in Philadelphia, but the photograph offered in the thread is of the South Dakota State Capitol Building in Pierre.

Your previous comment is right here, in Reply #27. Ha, I've been to both places but did not notice that error here ... What may be a little confusing is that Independence Hall, or rather the "scenery" around it, looks a little different on the currently issued $100. http://www.newmoney.gov/newmoney/files/100_Materials/100_GlossyBack_EN_WEB_031210.pdf  Also, how often would you use a $100 note anyway?

Really? And in the offered picture, the State Capitol's not being red brick didn't immediately catch your eye?

Problem is that hardly any of the notes depicted in this topic - including the US $100 bill - I have ever seen "in real life".   And the others apparently were fine matches, so ...

Besides, I was in SD in January. It was freezing cold, and the capitol dome in Pierre was primarily, errm, white. The good thing was that, when we got to Mount Rushmore a little later on that trip, we were almost the only visitors there.
