Lincoln picked up the Confederate $5 bill as a souvenir during a trip he made to inspect a site captured by the Union army.

He got it for change at the coffee stand downstairs.

Either that or he got it when Jefferson Davis settled that bet on who'd win the war.

He was going to buy some popcorn and soda-pop for his wife Mary, but forgot where he was.
