Well thanks for the info. I never knew that about the currency. Anyway, I did look up Liberace because I never heard he was born there either. The one site I saw said he was born in West Allis which I think is down by Milwaukee or possibly by Madison. I don't think it was Menasha. It's really great to learn new stuff every day.
