Sharing more random trivia facts I read about recently.
My last post for this series is here if you missed it:
Random Trivia Facts ~ Did You Know? #4
1. Frank Lloyd Wright’s son invented Lincoln Logs.
The famous architect’s design for the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo inspired John Lloyd Wright to produce the interlocking log beams on a much smaller scale for kids.
2. About 700 grapes go into one bottle of wine.
That is approximately 2.6 pounds, if you’re wondering how much “fruit” you get when you uncork your favorite red.
3. A $1 bill costs 5 cents to make.
According to the Federal Reserve, each dollar lasts about six years, and there’s about $1.79 trillion of U.S. currency in circulation right now.
4. Baby sea otters can’t swim.
Their moms will wrap them in pieces of kelp while they hunt until the pups learn how to paddle around on their own. A raft of otters will also hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart! (How adorable is this gesture!)
5. The Crown Jewels contain the two biggest cut diamonds on Earth.
They both came from the Cullinan Diamond, a 3,106-carat gem found in South Africa in 1905. The largest stone, called the Great Star of Africa, is in the Sovereign’s Sceptre, while the second largest is mounted in the Imperial State Crown.
*By the way, I may have to do a series about Otters, they are a favorite.

I don’t know about the dollar, and about the otter babies. Interesting facts.
I only got 1 right and that in no. 5 only because I’m from South Africa.
Cool trivia Carol, we always learn something new from you.
Thanks friendo.
Thank you for the visit.
These were all correct!
Have a good day.
I didn’t know most of these facts but I did see the real crown jewels in the tower of London. They were awesome..After I came home, I saw the fake crown jewels at a shopping mall.
I definetly can tell the real from the fake.
I am sure the crown jewels were stunning. Thanks for sharing that Pam.
pennies cost an even higher center of face value to create.
A 1963 silver dollar or solve 1/2 dollar is worth more (nearly double) than a 1965 coin of the same demonstration!
Amazing facts right Doc. Have a good day and weekend.
you as well – they were amazing facts
(and it was percentage, not center)
Got it, thanks again!
Very interesting facts …. I knew that about wine
Thanks, glad to see you are a step ahead of me about the wine.
To be honest, I drank quite a bit of it
These facts are very interesting. I especially like the ones about wine and otters.
So happy you enjoyed, i always appreciate your support.
Interesting facts once again! I’d love some more otter posts, they are adorable.
Thanks, I love these little otters and can you imagine seeing them holding hands! 🙂
That’s the cuttest thing, I have only seen it on photos.
Me too and on documentaries.
