June 9Jun 9 [JB gets out his analog 1970 desk top calculator... rethinks that, and gets out his 1969 slide rule instead... rethinks that, and decides to take a wild guess.]Dime: B: 5.26 centsNickel: C: 4.21 centsPenny: B: 1.76 cents
Tuesday at 09:24 PM5 days I have no idea. JB's guess sound as good s anything I could come up with.I always return from the States with pockets full of change, which does me no good here in Brazil, and then I forget to take it with me the next time I fly north. Paper currency is convertible here...coins aren't.We seldom even use Brazilian coins. Many stores didn't even carry many, so often times you were offered penny candy's as change for small amounts if they run out or they rounded the price down. Now almost anyone with cell phone (which is easy since there's 140 cell phone lines for every 100 people here...), has access to PIX, an instant payment system developed by the Central Bank of Brazil, that unlike VISA or Mastercharge and the like...is free.
Wednesday at 10:40 AM5 days Dime A: 7.83 centsNickel A: 7.42 centsPenny A: 2.34 centsI got thrown by the 2021. Today, both the penny and nickel are upside down. It costs more to produce than they are worth. One of the few good things the Mint has done recently is to discontinue penny production. It is estimated that there are over one billion dollars in pennies still in circulation. They are contemplating stopping nickel production as well. I believe there are around 500 million nickels out there as well. Don't think we'll run out any time soon!Only around 20% of transactions in the U.S. today involve cash. Credit and debit make up nearly 75% of all transactions.

Saturday at 08:24 PM2 days Author Question 149 - NumbersWhich is greater, the original height of the Great Pyramid or the original length of one of it’s sides?A: HeightB: Length
Saturday at 08:45 PM2 days Hmm, I would think that the sides would be longer, otherwise the pyramid would be taller than it is wide... and it isn't. So, B: Length. Unless I'm misunderstanding the question. I'm 73 (as of today) so that's definitely a possibility.
