"Presidential Makeover"

The face on the one-dollar bill is not the real George Washington. So say experts who are re-creating what our first US president really looked like in 3-dimensions. They are not only bringing him to life, but also restoring his youth.

Most Americans think of George Washington as the stiff old man who appears on every one-dollar bill. But U.S. historians say the one-dollar bill isn't worth much when it comes to portraying their first president. Jim Rees, executive director of historic Mount Vernon points out that George Washington and the artist who painted him didn't much like each other.
