PT got number 6 with the Susan B Anthony dollar and Inky got the other 3 right, so the only ones remaining are questions 2 and 5.

You're right with #2.

I'm gonna throw #5 out because I just looked up the history and the whole question is wrong. Their answer was 1955, but the Yankees didn't win the WS in 1954, they never even made it there, the NY Giants won it in '54 and the writers probably misread that as a Yankee win as the Yankees had won the previous 5 (49-53). This isn't the first time these questions have been wrong... ;)
