Interesting! Struck by the statements about picking up silver dollars at your bank (which of course you could do - I remember them in use in my early childhood.but seeing it in print brings it home). And the statement about $20 gold pieces being available for $45 even though bullion gold wasn't allowed to be owned - that was interesting.
