    Should have asked for Andrew Jackson and U.S. Grant, kid. They ain’t on any coins!

    FDR is on the $100K, but he’s also on the dime. I know which one she’s gonna choose.

    CXP, Franklin Roosevelt has been on the dime since 1946(due to his part in founding the March of Dimes).

    I did see that Merriam-Webster allows for coins to be termed “currency” – and it also has a definition of currency being just paper money, so we both are correct!

    The $100,000 wasn’t generally circulated and was only for bank to bank transactions. I sometimes carry a McKinley for fun, and have a nearly pristine Cleveland in my safe.

    Unless there is something special about it, the one cent coin should decrease in value due to inflation.

    Off on tangent, I have recently started following a YT channel called Treasure House. A few years back, a young woman looked at a house for sale. The owner had died, and it was a hoarder situation. The family was going to hire a company to clear it out and throw everything away. She made an offer to include the contents.

    She makes videos of going through things and stuff she finds. That includes containers of coins. People keep yelling in comments when she takes bunches to the coin machine because there might be valuable ones in there. But she doesn’t know coins. How is she going to determine what is rare? Look up thousands of coins in books?

    Also, from other things she’s found, I think the owner did and has already gone through the change and taken anything good. He was a collector of various things. Some people said she’d make thousands once she sorted a big container of quarters just on the silver. Not one silver coin. YouTube has stupid commenters.
