This thing reeks of the 70's, which is exactly why I love it! Notice how they carefully describe the coins as "silver" dollars?

I wonder if anyone here actually tried playing this game back then. Anyone?

People still think that Ikes are silver. They're the same size as Morgan and Peace dollars, so they instantly assume it. I've even read several stories of people hoarding Presidential dollars thinking they're gold!

They though Presidential dollars are gold?!
Anyway, seems like a good way to advertise a product!

Love it.

That was a year before I had ever seen my first Eisenhower dollar. I wonder if seeing this ad before getting those dollars from my dad would have affected how impressed I was by them.
