<p>[QUOTE="JBK, post: 14665, member: 1101"]This seems like a loser's game. Back in them days a few cents was real money, and the one reale SHOULD have ben worth 12.5 cents, and the 1/2 reale 6.25 cents. By using small coins, you would lose out on 20 cents on the dollar (vs. spending an 8 reale coin and getting the change in US coinage). </p><p><br /></p><p>Those crazy early Americans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
