Really? Back in my day, it cost me three Quetzals to get one made of wood!

In my day, we didn't have money unless we panned it out of the stream up by Sutter's Mill.

That wouldn't be a 'nickel bag' would it? because back in my day a Nickel bag cost $5, a dime was $10 and $20 was an ounce.

And we had to walk 15 miles, uphill, both direction, barefooted, in the snow just to get that nickel too. The kids today have it too easy with their shoes and their global warming.

Back in my day, we traded HUSKS OF CORN for HUSKS OF CORN!

Didn't someone already point out that the currency between now and when Sam was a kid was a very minuscule change?

@Lokitsu You were lucky! We had to trade grain just to get some lousy rocks!
