This article from the Wall Street Journal is non-numismatic, but what caught my eye was in the background of the embedded video of Treasury Secretary Yellen speaking from her office. Here's a still shot.

Check out the framed display of U.S. currency on the right. And if you look close, you'll see another framed display reflected in the mirror on the wall behind her desk. Very cool. In 2004 I visited the American Numismatic Association headquarters in Colorado Springs and in a conference room there was a similar frame on loan from the U.S. Treasury. Is it still there? Has anyone ever done an inventory of these framed government collections?
