<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ron_c, post: 2170340, member: 72518&quot;]While watching, probably the first, Let&#039;s Make A Deal show with Monty Hall.&nbsp; Since this was 1962 or 1963, the men were wearing suits and the women were wearing dresses, everyone was very quite and not shouting things like &quot;Take the box, man&quot; or Take the money&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Monty ask a woman if she would trade her just won prize for 10 pounds in silver dollars, which she did.&nbsp; Monty showed that they were indeed silver dollars in the box, all bright and shinny with lots of luster.&nbsp;&nbsp; Since this was 1962 or 1963, they were probably newly acquired silver dollars from the bank.&nbsp; Turns out the 10 pounds was 170 silver dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>He then ask her if she would trade the 10 pounds of silver dollars for 2 1/2 ounces of paper money.&nbsp; She traded right away for the paper money as she said, so she wouldn&#039;t have to carry that much weight home with her.&nbsp; Turns out it was all 1 dollar bills.&nbsp; 30 - 1 dollar bills to the ounce so she traded for $70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just thought it was interesting because back then the silver dollars were still only worth 1 dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
