<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Santinidollar, post: 7173419, member: 75866&quot;]Yours truly would journey to Philadelphia. Upon arrival, I would take my dime and buy a newspaper (probably 1 cent) to take back. It likely would be chug full of news about Lincoln and the hunt for the conspirators, as well as the turmoil at the end of the Civil War. (Hopefully, the paper won’t turn yellow on the return time machine journey.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine my change would be a half dime and four cents. I’d take the change to a bank and hopefully get four of those new-fangled 2-cent pieces. I’d also want a flying eagle cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I ate a big meal before I left so I wouldn’t have to buy any food. My stomach flipped on the journey a bit, but a big belch took care of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got to do a little sightseeing before I left. I was going to ask a Union soldier if he had ever heard of my great-great grandfather (a Union officer). But what if I actually found him? If I told him I’m his great-great grandson, they’d stick me in one of those insane asylums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking better of the idea, I went to the time machine and returned home no worse for the wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
