And every ten-dollar roll of quarters or halves would have been most of a day's wages. The average man's salary in 1955 was $3400 a year. That...
Absolute nonsense. [ATTACH] Or, to put it a bit more charitably: You're free to pick any one commodity and say "this is the measure of value"....

He may not be able to hear you if you type that quietly. ;)
Now, I have seen -- and bought! -- "too-good-to-be-true" eBay listings. Sometimes they were fraudulent. Other times, they weren't; they were just...
