So creative and nicely presented. The content you selected and the green colors show so well. The details and the flame from the candle bring light into the nice presentation.

This is a delightful post. In this 'stilllife' photography, Abe Lincoln gazes from the corner with eyes that seem to hold both mystery and strength, inviting you to explore the untold stories behind their penetrating stares. But then, who does/does not like the greenbacks? I would ignore him and grab what's nearest to me!:) Good luck!

Thanks Brian - Here is a bit of history regarding the term greenbacks.
The term "greenback" eventually became synonymous with paper money in general, even after the retirement of Civil War greenbacks. Today, "greenback" refers to standard U.S. dollars. The dollars we use today are considered greenbacks in this broad sense.
However, the specific Civil War-era Greenbacks are still remembered for their historical role. Numismatists and history enthusiasts sometimes use "greenback" in its original context to refer specifically to those Demand Notes and Legal Tender Notes issued in the 1860s.

A good looking image presented here into the competition, together with amusing comments. Hope those notes did not get burnt? Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is a very clever and creative arrangement for this contest! I think also that this is the very first post here on FAR where the main subject was Money ! It's amazing how fast our money goes, especially at this time of year ! I love the holidays ! This is well arranged with the money , the candle and the green grapes, I like the way some of the money is placed face up on the table while I see that you folded some into the various shapes and that ten dollar bill is rolled to stand up near the candle.
Well photographed with good, sharp focus, this image is crisp and clear and I love the candle light .
Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!
