***Same way all the other dollar coins worked out. ***

My dad used to get paid in REAL SILVER DOLLARS back in 1955 Utah.

Now this nickle clad copper are not worth the weight to carry around.

Never had a $20 turned down over in Cherokee Land Oklahoma.

Today’s $100 will not buy you any more than a $20 bill would forty five years ago.

Fifty years ago is when Johnson took the silver out of REAL MONEY!

Depends on what you’re buying. If it’s a TV it will buy much more but if you’re buying groceries it won’t buy what a ten would buy that long ago.
