That's what it looks like. Any idea where you acquired them? Almost all WWI and WWII POWs have now left us, but there might be some left who...
My dollars all seem to be shrinking.
Very true, but, since most people don't know that, it sometimes happens and the victim doesn't know he or she can keep the cents and still take...
