in the late '50s and '60s. spend a few bucks in a coffee shop or gift shop, give the cashiers a 20.00 bill, always would give your change in silver dollars. Hoping you would spend at a 1.00 BJ table that only used silver dollars then, or 1.00 slot machine. People hated a pocket full of silver dollars. I remember winning at BJ and having two racks full of silver dollars. Very heavy to take to the cashier. Loved LV especially to great shows performed by the best entertainers ever. Frank Sinatra, Wayne Newton.Celine Dion, Rat Pack, Tom Jones, Mitzi Gaynor, Dean Martin/ Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Durante, Milton Berle, Liberace, Louie Prima/ Keely Smith, Andy Williams, Lennon Sisters, and Siegfried & Roy. Kay and I saw them all over the years. Forgot Barbara Mandrell.
