Same idea as the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar—the dollars were inlaid in a black bar. But I recall it being straight, not curved, and the dollars weren’t in straight rows, but I remember being quite impressed. This was in the early 50s, can’t remember the name of the town, but I’m pretty sure it was in Idaho. Not nearly as big the Cowboy Bar.

Like you, I was really impressed and wide-eyed when Dad took me in to see the bar. In the 50s, a silver dollar was worth about $20 of today’s crappy money, so a big pile of Morgans was really something.

I see signs for one of those bars in Idaho along I-90. I see that there is one in Leadore, ID, and another in Haugen, MT which is on I-90 in western Montana.

Back in the day spent lots of time in Jackson, and some of it at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.

Sad about Jackson Hole nowadays - all the millionaires are gone.
