[QUOTE="Slider, post: 1952466, member: 44205"]I fixed that for you. :) Bear in mind that there were more than 600 million Morgan dollars produced, and we know for sure that approximately half of those were melted during the "Great Melts." We also know that they were circulation currency, despite the fact that nobody really wanted to use them.
