<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajbuckle, post: 263211, member: 8484&quot;]In the 200+ years that the US has been making $1 coins, the inflation rate has gradually (and sometimes not so gradually) eroded the spending power of the dollar.&nbsp; In 1796, a $1 coin could buy a dinner and drinks for a family.&nbsp; In order to pay for my family&#039;s dinner using coins today, I would have to carry a relatively large number of heavy $1 coins.&nbsp; So I pay with a $20 or $50 bill instead.&nbsp; Why don&#039;t we have a $20 r a $50 coin available for me to use?&nbsp; Obviously, I would need to acquire that $50 coin for $50, so the $50 gold or platinum coins don&#039;t count.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aaron[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
