<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2813026, member: 17665&quot;]It was in Coin World, July 2017 issue. Jefferson walked his personal $75.00 of silver to the Mint office and his silver was made into the first 1,500 half dismes. His trek, which took him across four states and 250 miles saw the first six coins spent at an inn as a tip to the servants. It was the first commercial transaction conducted in money authorized by the U.S. Constitution. July 13th, 1792 was the day these were made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
