A silver dollar was a special gift at Christmas or a birthday; pirate booty in your pocket! The buying power we had. Pennies of real copper and penny candy to spend them on. A pocket full of change could bring you a numismatist's dream. Dimes and quarters and half dollars from the 30s and 40s still in circulation.
