Starting tomorrow, Groupon ( www.groupon.com ) (NASDAQ: GRPN) will be kicking off Presidents Day weekend by giving customers 10 dollars off 40 dollars when they purchase a deal for any local business. The $10 bill, as everyone knows, features President Alexander Hamilton -- undeniably one of our greatest presidents and most widely recognized for establishing the country’s financial system.

Beginning Saturday, Feb. 15 at 9 am CST, shoppers will be able to redeem this offer by using the promo code “10OFF40LOCAL”, which isn’t very catchy, but neither was President Hamilton’s famous saying, “nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.” (continued)

So an Internet company doesn't own an Internet connection with which to Google a man's biography?

[Blood of Tyrants]

You can’t fix stupid.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Cool, next we can get a discount for the president that discovered electricity with that kite!

[JSDude1]

Cool next we can collect discounts on those $57 Obamabucks.

[Publius]

He has elected president after he killed Aaron Burr in a duel. Jefferson only got one term.

[be-baw]

One of the best presidents we never had. Ben Franklin was even better

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

How about no one at BusinesWire or MarketWatch catching on to this mistake? They are idiots for not noticing!

[Jacquerie]

Someone came up with a promo idea, it went upward through a layer or two and was approved by a senior exec. How many sets of eyes missed the obvious? How many were university educated? Sheesh.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I like President Sam Adams, the one who invented beer.

[unixfox]

How many were university educated?

Most are liberal universities. So, there is your answer.

[Publius]

I’m partial to President John Hancock, the man who invested — ahem! — insurance.

[thecodont]

I thought it was a clever joke.

“President Alexander Hamilton — undeniably one of our greatest presidents and most widely recognized for establishing the country’s financial system. “

What’s next? Benedict Arnold being the founder of the CIA?

[Publius]

Arnold never got that far. He was elected Governor of Connecticut after the war.

[willywill]

what do you expect from a country where people would even discuss bill Clinton being the first black president.

[Salamander]

LOL

[max americana]

He was the first RINO then?

[Publius]

Actually, Arnold ran as a Federalist. Maybe he was a FINO.

[Yaelle]

In what year was that buffalo on the nickel elected?

[max americana]

roger that
