<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 7741325, member: 92655&quot;]As I understand it, we adopted a decimal coin system in 1792 which set the foundation for the cash system we have used our entire nations history. One question I have always held and I hope this isn&#039;t as inept as it sounds..... We identified &quot;cents&quot; and &quot;half cents&quot; on the appropriate coins of the day. Why then did we not identify quarter dollars, half dollars and dollars? Was it that we just expected commerce to recognize the sizes as being similar to the reale&#039;s that were circulating at the time?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
