<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 325058, member: 9167&quot;]It may say &quot;Dime&quot; on the coin, but to be specific, Congress never passed legislation authorizing a &quot;Dime&quot; denomination, regardless of the term struck on coinage. The Coinage Act of 1792 authorized the mintage of a &quot;disme&quot; , one tenth the silver weight and value of a dollar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suppose we could argue this all day, but this is what the governing body that striles the coins authorized and still abides by. But, like many, technically right or not, I still use the common terms that most recognize....penny, nickel and dime.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
