In 1940, 14-year-old Fidel Castro sent a letter to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In the letter, he asked the president to send him a $ 10 note, as according to the letter he had never seen one and would like to own one.
In addition, he offered to show Roosevelt one of the largest iron mines in Cuba if there was a shortage of iron to build ships from.
Roosevelt's press office sent a brief reply back to Castro thanking him for his letter, but no banknote was attached.
