Question
#61038. peasypod
asks:
It was designed by a US President, later seized by the government but recovered again and turned into a shrine. Today it is a museum. What was it, and how is it associated with race-tracks and strip joints?

The one dollar bill? Actually, Rosevelt simply made the decision to put the Great Seal on the back of the one dollar bill as suggested by his Sec. of Agriculture.

Well, yes, it was the Monticello, so yay, for you. The Golden Banana is still out there for the connection I was thinking of with strip-joints...
