rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 01:28 am Awesome... It's crazy to think about what a dollar buys and used to buy. Example, adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind is STILL the number one most grossing film ever ($1,626,459,200 - adjusted). At five cents for the matinee or ten cents for the evening show, that's a mountain of mostly Buffalo nickles! I love watching old westerns too and every time I see a cowboy plunk down a dollar to for whiskey or pulls their poker winnings towards them I think about all the trade and Morgan dollars rolling around back then!

jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 08:31 am just curious .... the fractional currency notes were printed from 1862 to 1876. Roughly how much longer did they remain in circulation? Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 08:42 am Correct mw if I'm wrong, but I don't think any US currency has been demonetized. It's like asking, "When did Buffalo nickels go out of circulation?" They're still out there, and I think this bill is still legal tender for ten cents. Report this Post to the Staff

BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 9:33 pm LOL... you're thinking groceries, I'm thinking some prospector working the Colorado silver mines enjoying a night on the town. Playing some poker, having a couple of drinks... Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 1:40 pm Believe it or not the Treasury was still receiving fractional currency as late as 1934. See "The Walter P Nichols File" by Q D Bowers. Report this Post to the Staff
