<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 4517758, member: 88212"]I remember that you could get silver dollars at banks through 1964 but most kids didn't bother for two reasons. First every coin larger than a nickel was silver. Second - When you got a dollar for an allowance or had an income from a paper route a dollar was a lot of money. Whitman folders cost 19 cents and most kids collected cents and nickels. I had a paper route so I also collected dimes. I've always loved standing liberty quarters but I did not see a way to afford accumulating them so I had one nice one for my type set and spent the rest. Larger coins and bills generally went to pay for my papers and supplies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
