Former Math Teacher chip rant !!!!!

They made the mistake in their 2014 issue - I wrote them to complain.
They made the SAME MISTAKE with their 2019 issue !!!?

These chips are clearly shown as HALF CENT CHIPS, not 50¢ !! sad
0.50 = 5O/100 = 1/2

But then what can you expect from someone who (correctly) argues that the FIRST DAY of the 21st Century was January 1, 2001 ....... NOT 2000 !!!
There was no year "Zero". Born January 1, 0001? Your 100th birthday was January 1, 101 (first day of the 2nd century).

Thank you, I fell better now. grin grin grin
