That thing used to be a tenth of a dollar in silver . A silver dollar would contain close to one ounce of silver at 90% pure . Ten dime would balance the scale to equal one dollar . Those were the days . When a smoke was a smoke .
I always liked the dime . It meant something . Light weight but powerful . Much better than a penny or a nickle .
The US dime had FDR 's face on it , as it still does today . Don't you think all those great men , Washington . Lincoln , Jefferson and even Roosevelt would feel disgraced to see their faces on worthless tokens that cost more to make than they are worth .
Shame on you US mint . Who is driving this train ???
Drop the penny and the nickle . $1.99 isn't fooling anyone .
Cheers mates
