Remember, we are talking about bullion with a nominal face value, not hard currency.

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 2:56 pm The matter of face value versus actual silver (or gold) content in a coin gets even more interesting when you consider that [pre-1965]10 dimes does not equal a dollar. Nor did two quarters and 5 dimes. This is mostly a historical account because we don't use silver coinage as we did pre-1965.
