When these were minted, Dad could get 2 good cigars and a pack of gum with them. When I was a kid, they would buy an afternoon at the movies. What can you buy today with eleven cents?

I began this blog in 2008 after I retired. My main interest is photography and so most posts will contain photos, along with brief comments or explanations. I participate in several weekly blogs and occasionally post my own recurring themes. Occasionally I throw in comments, kudos or complaints about the world situation. Links to my other two blogs are below the "Disclaimer".

I am retired, married to a smart, talented lady who once thought we computer people were geeks and now is one of us geeks. I have a long time interest in photography. We live in Maryland, about 50 miles from Washington, DC.
My main camera is a Nikon D3100 with two zoom lenses (18-55 and 55-200).

I don't know - there isn't even nickel candy anymore - I do like the detail that you caught with these coins.
I love that you were able to catch the detail on the coins.
I remember when candy bars used to cost a nickel. Oh well.
