[QUOTE="pumpkinpie, post: 1393108, member: 34244"]I find it interesting that 80 years ago you could pay for your $20 purchase with a $20 piece of gold -OR- a $20 piece of paper! OR that a Civil War soldier could have used the very same Seated Liberty dime in my collection to buy a drink-150 years ago. And that my great-great uncle (he's 102) was 24 when gold coins stopped circulating-I have to wonder if he ever received or spent one at face value...[/QUOTE]
