<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2206056, member: 72790&quot;]That half dime elicits memories from my reading of the history of the American Civil War. In both fictional and non fiction writing about that war authors quite frequently refer to the five cent piece of the time period as a &quot;nickel&quot;. You have no idea how many times I have written to authors to get it right. The five cent piece of the war was the silver half dime (or five cent fractional postal currency, if paper).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
