oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 03/31/2016 06:29 am If only... But remember that a dollar would have got you a silver dollar too, and your salary would have been $40 per week. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 03/31/2016 06:59 am So true @oriole, but when I see "R" and "S" notes at $1 over face, I drool. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 03/31/2016 10:18 am There is never any harm in drooling. Just don't look at price lists from 1923! Report this Post to the Staff

kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 7:06 pm Wow considering I'm just getting into the currency thing and am currently pricing many of the above notes all I can do is shake my head. Like looking at some of the old ads in the digitized issues of the Numismatist. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12817 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 5:51 pm @Steve - VERY cool. I'm old enough (just) that I can remember what would be involved in typing up that list on a manual typewriter....backing up the carriage to underscore characters.... WAY before the days of "word processors" and such. And gorgeous notes to boot! Report this Post to the Staff
