<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4514547, member: 66"]The idea of the 20 cent piece as being a way to end getting shortchanged was silly. It would only work if you just happened to have that particular coin (just like you wouldn't be shortchanged if you just happened to have the one bit piece) if you didn't you still got shortchanged. The obvious solution was not to create another silver coin almost identical in size to the quarter, it would have been to allow the western mints to coin cents and five cent pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
