Denominational Factors in Nineteenth-Century Currency Experience

Richard H. Timberlake

The Journal of Economic History, 1974, vol. 34, issue 4, 835-850

Abstract: The possession of a few copper cents [in 1862] meant that the owner could ride [the street car] rather than walk…. It meant that he could buy a postage stamp without an altercation with the clerk, or a cigar without receiving in change a handful of the dealer's own manufactured currency.
