It's so strange imagining paying for something with just coins. Like, here's two dimes, I'll have a ham sandwich. It just seems so minuscule.

It really wasn't that long ago that prices were still low like that. Prices were pretty stable for 100+ years until the early 70s when Nixon closed the gold window. When I was a kid in the 80s things were still pretty cheap. I remember when a Happy Mean was a $1.19. We would also stop at the lunch counter at Woolworths. I would get a grilled cheese sandwich; it cost 45 cents. I would get some penny candy for desert.
