Oh Boy... Each Dime you brought back to the Bank will have the Spending Power of 10 of today's Fiat Dollars... The One Silver Dime you found will do 10 times better than the other Dimes you turn it... It will have the Spending Power of 100 of today's Fiat Dollars... I guess you didn't fully understand what I was writing... I think you made a big mistake, bringing those Dimes back to the Bank before the Reset...

Nah, I don't think I misunderstood. I don't believe those nickle-clad tokens with the Empire's name on them have any value outside of the legal tender law; in fact, having that name may end up being a liability when they come along and say "that's ours, it's got our name on it."
It's the metal that people will accept, the Mercury just makes it recognizable, and since they're still in circulation I can get them relatively cheap.
I grew up in a time when I could Exchange 20 Nickels for a Silver Dollar... That will soon be happening again, but this time around, our Silver Dollars will only weigh 1/10 of an ounce... Ten "Clad" Dimes will still get me 20 Nickels... A 1/10 ounce Silver Dime will have a One Dollar Face Value... So will 10 Dimes or 20 Nickels... And I do understand your point of view... Many people feel the way you feel... Believe it or not, $100 in "Clad" Dimes will get me a One Ounce, $100 Gold Coin on the other side of the U.S. Monetary Correction... Trust me...
