<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2957210, member: 56370&quot;]That would apply to current coins in circulation, but I would argue that coins wore down faster in the past.&nbsp; The change in our pockets has very little buying power so therefore it just sits around before enough accumulates to cash in.&nbsp; But just imagine if each quarter was equivalent to a 5 dollar bill.&nbsp; That was its buying power 100 years ago.&nbsp; I doubt many people back then could have afforded to let their change sit in a jar, because they needed it for day to day expenses, and so each coin changed hands much more frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
