<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 26530409, member: 89213&quot;]Twenty Cent Piece cost me Twenty Five Cents back in the early 50&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was an old vegetable vendor that pushed a handcart down the alleys in our neighborhood. He sold produce out of his garden. One day mom gave me a Fifty Cent Piece and asked me to go out to him and buy something. Mom said it would be Twenty-Five Cents. I gave him the half dollar and he gave me a Twenty Cent Piece. They were almost the same size as a quarter and only in use for a few years in the 1870’s for this same reason – confusion. Now, technically, the vendor gained Five Cents and mom lost Five Cents. As I thought, when I told mom about the mix-up, I was told to put it in my coin collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
