When I was a young guy there were "penny post cards" and 3¢ stamps.
Yep, even back in the 1950's you could mail a letter for three cents.
How times have changed.

Took me more than a second. I did not get it until I came across your post. And I agree, it was funny. Good sense of humor. LOL

This reminds me of a story. I was going through my wallet one day, when I came across a ticket from a dry cleaners for a suit coat I had dropped off. Unfortunately, the ticket was over nine years old. I had moved about two or three times since then, but a quick check of the phone book showed the cleaners was still in business. So I figure, what the heck, why not stop by and see happens. Anyway, I drop by the place one day and give the guy the ticket. He looks at it and then walks into the back room. Well, he comes back a couple of minutes later and says, “It’ll be ready Tuesday”.

There were also $500.00 bills in circulation, and of course, all coins except pennies and nickles were silver.
