<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 135372, member: 4552"]OK, so what the_cave_troll said and everything else. So what? Still dosen't explain why way back when the sizes and even the material of our coinage wasn't all standardized. If all our coins in the US were made of the same material then the sizes could have been standarized. I know it's way to late now, but back then there were no gum ball machines to worry about, no toll roads, no pop machines, no coin counters, so I just think the government wasn't thinking clearly. Possibly alcholic drinks were being utilized more frequently than thoughts of our coinage sizes. Back when they changed the large cent they should have fixed all the coins. Could have made all out of the same material.</p><p>As to the dollar bill being sized as it's value, that would be great. Then you could hide them under yoiu watch, use as an ear plug, hide under our SBA dollar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
