<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 2373017, member: 1886&quot;]Can picture how that would have play out in 1956?&nbsp; President Frugality is in the White House. Rumors are flying that Ike is eyeballing the military for budget cuts. The C/O of Joelton doesn&#039;t want bean counters looking too hard at his base&nbsp; budget. The token contractor suggests a slip die and solid planchets&nbsp; to save a few beans. But then, oh no they&#039;re all the same size. People are going to get confused.&nbsp; But no, wait, we can&nbsp; high light the denomination area&nbsp; with some nickel plating thereby negating the savings.&nbsp;&nbsp; It would have been a fabulous military story. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course nothing will ever beat the Navy&#039;s $600 manually operated, vertically deployed, inertial impact devices. Yeah, hammers.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
