I vividly remember the day my grandmother (Grhs), a NYC public school teacher for 50 years, brought home a news article about a new business venture called “a VISA card”. It was about the time they were taking silver out of the coins. She could barely contain her amusement.

She then went on and predicted the next 50 years history with what was in retrospect amazing accuracy.

Silver coins were last minted in 1964, Bank Of Americard changed it’s name to Visa in 1975.

Just sayin’.
