Too bad they called in the silver certificates. I have a bunch of them. Have a bunch of the Morgan silver dollars too.
What is paper money anyway, just pieces of paper with pictures on them per Jeromey Irons comment in Margin Call.
I’ve got some silver certificates, too.
My mom’s folks lived in Idaho. Back in the 50s and early 60s, silver dollars were available everywhere. My grandpa used to pull silver dollars out of my ears! He was so good at that little magic trick. They were always poor, so pulling a dollar out of my ear in 1960 is like pulling FOUR silver dollars out of your ear today. Imagine you are poor and pulling 40 bucks out of your grandson’s ear today! I never appreciated how much of a gift they were giving us with those simple silver dollars. Thanks, Grandpa!
