<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4668796, member: 27832&quot;]But it has to be a <i>little</i> more complicated than that, because 1892 to 1950 is 58 years, and 58 years ago <i>today</i> is 1962. Have you seen a 1962 cent or nickel that worn? I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen a clad quarter worn down as low as Good, never mind Poor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s just that the face value of our circulating coins has become trivial, so they don&#039;t circulate as many times per year or decade. When&#039;s the last time you had a total purchase ring up less than a dollar? <i>Everything</i> goes to folding money these days, or plastic. Change is for jars, and then CoinStars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
