Sometimes on a Saturday my mother would give my brother and me each a 50 cent silver coin, either a Liberty or a Franklin half dollar. We'd walk into town and have a ball. See the kids' matinee, candy bar, hamburger, coke, maybe even a comic book. You'd think we were whooping it up in Las Vegas. Never felt so rich before or since.

"Better hurry up dear, before the price goes up!"
