Owner Comments:
I remember when this coin came out, a joke was made about how blind people are paying $5 for a pack of cigarettes. It was funny because a pack of cigarettes cost $1.25 then and the coin was close to the size of a quarter. I remember that we used to see if you could tell if it was a quarter or a dollar and if you got it wrong, you had to drop a dollar in the pot, get it right...you take a dollar.
