One needs to remember that 40 years ago when our money had true value,all coins were used and held their value in commerce. Adjust for inflation and see what their true values are by todays standards. Today walk out of a 7/11 store and cents are thrown all over the sidewalk and parking lot....40 /45 years ago you never saw that...and if you did you bent over and picked them up. I have nothing personal against the cent or half....they just out lived their time .[/QUOTE]
