Mail is a magical thing.
You handwrite an address on an envelope and attach a stamp to the outside, and a few days later your letter arrives exactly where it’s supposed to be.
So how does the USPS manage to handle 703 million pieces of mail per day?

While traveling around Washington, DC, Flickr user Musely had an interesting idea called Washington, DC on $85 a Day.
Since the US $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills all feature buildings that are located in Washington (the Lincoln Memorial, US Treasury, White House and Capitol buildings respectively) he walked around until he found the place wither each illustration was made, lined up the bill, and snapped away.
It’s old meets new in a very interesting sort of way.
