Nice coins and great music, and hearing the music brought a question to my mind.

So I did a little sleuthing about on the old inter web.

Yep TWO GALLONS of Beer!

The price was 50 cents a gallon!

I am sure you were just as curious as I was to know that answer!

Another useless piece of information now forever etched in my brain.

    WOW, $700M for liquor for 3 years in 1886 at a time when beer was 50 cents a gallon! Did women eat as much chocolates during that time too? or maybe chocolates were not invented yet?
