      More likely they’d be flipping a nickel.

      A penny then is worth 18 cents now so he would need to flip a penny with a haypenny stuck to it.

      I had hopes to come up with a funny answer, but …

      1925 Standing Liberty Quarter Value

      According to the NGC Price Guide, as of September 2024, a Standing Liberty Quarter from 1925 in circulated condition is worth between $5 and $125. However, on the open market 1925 Quarters in pristine, uncirculated condition sell for as much as $3750.

        I’m not so much asking about the actual deflated value, I mean what was culturally the equivalent of flipping a cheap coin (quarter) back then? Like a penny that was quarter sized lol

          Since it wasn’t the equivalent of $ 30.000 by far and presumably used more likely similar to ours, i assume it was that very same quarter, that was usually used to flip the coin.

            I choose to believe they had an old-timey quarter-sized penny 😅

      ¢1 would have been ¢16.97, according to that converter

              Lol, I changed the order of the cent sign to make it more understandable for the reader due to the decimal.

              You and I clearly have different priorities when writing.
