<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 4116669, member: 42773"]Well, yours is a gargantuan obol, at four times the size of my lilliputian tetartemorion. But [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] makes a good point: how accurate is it to transpose Attic denominations onto colonial issues? I suppose we'll never know, but for me the more interesting question concerns the buying power of the tiny silver fractionals. What would our coins have bought? Would mine have bought a loaf of bread and yours four?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
