You could buy a dozen good 3 bedroom 2 bath houses in the United States with a million pounds (1.5 million US Dollars).
There's never been a $3 bill in the set of standard denominations printed by the U.S. government. That's one reason for the expression "phony as a 3-dollar bill", because any that you found would have to be fake. It's also taken on an unfortunate pejorative meaning in modern slang usage.OTOH a lot of local and private banks issued bills in all sorts of unusual denominations. In particular, $3 bills were printed in Texas during the time that the state was an independent republic.Finally, the U.S. did issue a $3 coin from 1854 to 1889. Legend has it that the peculiar denomination was intended to simplify the purchase of panes of 100 first-class postage stamps, which cost 3¢ each at the time. That hypothesis is shaky because it was very uncommon for people to purchase such a large quantity of stamps at one time.

A coin dealer would have to buy it (or you could sell it via eBay or craigslist) but at most that penny is worth 3 cents. It is a really common penny and most likely you would find no one wanting to buy it for over a cent.

Let ' T ' = the number of 3-cent stamps. Furthermore, let ' F ' = the number of 5-cent stamps. T + F = 51, ===> so F = 51 - T 3T + 5F = 223 3T + 5(51-T) = 223 3T + 255 - 5T = 223 -2T = -32 T = 16 ===> so F = 35

Making Postage: Mak found more than 50 3-cent and 5-cent stamps in a desk. His uncle needed 87¢ worth of postage to mail a package and asked Mak if he could use some of these stamps. How many different combinations of the stamps could Mak give his uncle to make exactly 87¢ of postage.???????
