Maximum Max was very kind to me. As I could not meet him at the stores, where I dared not face my creditors, I would waylay him in front of his residence "I tell you what, Levinsky," he once said to me. "You ought to learn some trade. It's plain you were not born to be a business man. Finally I owed him so many quarters, and even half-dollars, that I had not the courage to ask him for more
There was but little money in the impoverished little town, but mint-masters were appointed by the magistrates to take their seats at once an in the Hotel de Ville. The citizens brought their spoons and silver dishes; one after another, which were melted and coined into dollars and half-dollars, until the payment was satisfactorily adjusted. Thus fell Zierickzee, to the deep regret of the Prince.
The Central Office man, with eyes as big as half-dollars, acted almost as if he would have liked to clap the irons on Kennedy. For there in the top of the safe was another hole, smaller but identical in nature with the first one. "Thermit," was all Kennedy said. "Thermit?" echoed Andrews, shifting the cigar which he had allowed to go out in the excitement.
"Do you think a priest likes to go about the barrooms asking for dollars and half-dollars? Would you make his task more unpleasant? If I have to go to America again, what answer shall I make if they say to me: 'Well, didn't your workmen leave you at Kilmore? They don't want churches at Kilmore. Why should we give you money for a church?"
On one of the lumps of "native" silver was discovered the minted legend, "TED STATES OF," and then it was plainly apparent that the mine had been "salted" with melted half-dollars! The lumps thus obtained had been blackened till they resembled native silver, and were then mixed with the shattered rock in the bottom of the shaft. It is literally true.

"I used to live in Greenups," replied Jack. "Where in the world is Greenups?" "Wall, Greenups is up nigh the Big Sandy." As I was born in the part of the country, and knew something about the people, I asked Jack if he was one of those fellows who made the counterfeit half-dollars on the Big Sandy.

He had three cents in his pocket the big old kind that were as large as half-dollars and seemed to buy as much in that day and he offered to let Jim take them and go and get something to eat at the grocery. They decided he should buy two smoked red herrings and a cent's worth of crackers, and these were what Jim brought back after he had been gone so long that Pony thought he would never come.
Each of the gentlemen drew out a piece of silver and threw it on the little deck. "Gentlemen, you may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me a trifle; but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely believe my eyes as I picked up the two silver half-dollars.
