Pocket Change was always in Gold, Silver, Nickel and Copper... A dollar was a weight measured in Silver or Gold... Since the Federal Reserve and the removal of gold and silver and even copper from our Coinage, it's been going down in value, but that won't stop the increase in buying power of our Common Coinage because our current Medium of Exchange is mostly Paper Debt Notes... So, it's not the value of the Metal in our Coinage that will Count for the increase in Buying Power... Thanks for commenting...
