Saving Up for the Big Bucks

National Geographic 1964

     That's a large dollar.  Not sure where you could spend it.  It's definitely worth more in silver than it is at face-value.  Impractical.

     And everyone knows it.  That man's just reading his paper, holding up his giant coin, while passers-by give him all kinds of looks.  Incredulity (slouch hat on left).  Awe (glasses second from right).  Lust (Mlle Turquoise and Lady Fur-Shawl).  And then there's Spite.  The fedora immediately left of the dollar-haver is exuding pure malice; he just knows that dollar-haver is going to try and use that thing for bus fare.  And it's going to take all day long.  Jerk.
