I remember my father quit smoking around 1964. At the time a pack of cigarettes was about 50 cents. Every time he normally would buy a pack of cigarettes he would save a silver dollar instead. He is still alive and he still has them. A LOT of them. The FACE value is huge...

That can't be right, I was getting smokes out of machines in 1975 for 35 cents. Not that I'm doubting your fathers wise move to save his health and money. Just that your numbers are a little off.
