I never<\/span> <\/strong>subjected my future-wife to a Diner-<\/em>style quiz.\u00a0I never said, \u201cWho is Unitas or I won\u2019t marry you.\u201d But if I had asked important dating questions, I would have asked about money. Who is on the dime? I have a negative opinion of people who don\u2019t know who is on the dime.<\/p>\n Who is on the $10,000 bill?\u00a0That, I won\u2019t hold against you.\u00a0The government hasn\u2019t printed a 10K bill since 1946.\u00a0[Answer: Salmon P. Chase. Sir, your first name is a fish!]<\/p>\n My favorite coin is the Kennedy half-dollar because it has heft and has a good feel to it (serrated edges), and it\u2019s half a rock — a quality nickname. I haven’t seen one in years. The government stopped making Kennedy half-dollars in 2003.\u00a0You can go to a bank and request a half a rock, but who\u2019s\u00a0going to do that? I sold most of my half-dollars for their silver content decades ago, during the\u00a0Hunt brothers silver boom.<\/p>\n I did<\/strong><\/span> give my wife a low-stakes money quiz.\u00a0Way too late \u2014 we were already married many years. Alice knew Lincoln is on the penny and Washington is on the dollar bill.\u00a0She said an Indian is on the nickel. That’s a very old nickel, Alice. I didn\u2019t say anything. I didn’t want her to have a negative opinion of me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I never subjected my future-wife to a Diner-style quiz.\u00a0I never said, \u201cWho is Unitas or I won\u2019t marry you.\u201d But if I had asked important dating questions, I would have asked about money.
