Those were the only ones that could be cooked with the cabbage for good luck on New Year's Day. Without the silver, there was no luck.

I've heard the term "cash money," but never "check money." Nor have I heard "case quarter," but have heard "silver dime" many times. (I remember back when dimes actually were made of silver.) My Pawpaw used to save silver dollars and silver dimes. He'd give his grandchildren each a silver dollar on their birthdays, and he accumulated the silver dimes. We found a cache of them after his death. Heh heh. I’ve heard the term “cash money,” but never “check money.” Nor have I heard “case quarter,” but have heard “silver dime” many times.

Damn, I'm old. I remember the smell of the Westbank Schwegmann's, too. Matter of fact, with all this talk I can smell it right now. It isn't a pleasant smell at all, but it is our smell. :) I remember those machines. Damn, I’m old. I remember the smell of the Westbank Schwegmann’s, too.

Of course ,then the dimes were probably made of silver! To my generation a silver dime, thin dime, and round dime meant the same thing-just to distinguish it from other forms of 10 cents.
