In the town of Manitowoc, WI there lies a diner that caries the moniker \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Late\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d not some new fangled diner but one with a long curvy counter and spinning dinette stools. However there is something new to Late\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s diner and it looks down over the amused patronage. It is a sign that reads: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Late\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prices, if you pay in U.S. silver coins, dated 1964 or earlier.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d There follows a list of prices for various culinary items like a hamburger for 12 cents and a four piece chicken dinner for 36 cents.<\/p>\n
You see, unlike the strange sandwiched coinage we usually carry around with us these days, that has a resemblance to real money<\/a> but sounds like a button if it is dropped on the counter, this silver money<\/a> that the sign refers to has real value.<\/p>\n The following is a list of silver coins circulated before 1964. Included is the coins Face Value, Silver Value as of the June 28, 2013 silver prices of $18.64 per ounce and the Silver % of Face Value.<\/p>\n 1942-1945 NICKEL 1916-1945 MERCURY DIME 1946-1964 ROOSEVELT DIME 1916-1930 STANDING LIBERTY QUARTER 1932-1964 WASHINGTON QUARTER 1916-1947 WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR 1948-1963 FRANKLIN HALF DOLLAR 1964 KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR 1965-1970 HALF DOLLAR (40% Silver) 1878-1921 MORGAN DOLLAR 1921-1935 PEACE DOLLAR 1971-1976 EISENHOWER DOLLAR (40% Silver) 1986-Present AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE (.999 Silver) The effect of inflation on our money does not stop with the coins minted but includes the paper money we affectionately refer to as the Dollar.
