Famous quotes containing the words pound, coins and/or circulation:

“A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”

“There is probably not more than one hundred dollars in cash in circulation today. That is, if you were to call in all the bills and silver and gold in the country at noon tomorrow and pile them on the table, you would find that you had just about one hundred dollars, with perhaps several Canadian pennies and a few peppermint Life Savers.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
