<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1268586, member: 17919&quot;]Of course, the real name of our 5-cent coin is &quot;5-cent coin&quot;, but that doesn&#039;t stop nearly everyone from calling it a &quot;nickel&quot;. The official name for 100 cents is &quot;dollar&quot;, but people often call it a &quot;buck&quot;. And although &quot;shilling&quot; was the official name of the old 12-pence coin, it was often called a &quot;bob&quot;. So, there&#039;s no use getting one&#039;s knickers in a knot over the use of vernacular coin names that everyone (or nearly everyone) understands. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
