  2. Of course removing 2 of the 4 letters from DIME leaves you with IM – or, to your Roman, 999.

  3. The penny – you take half of it away, melt it down, separate and sell the copper, and you’ve got more than a penny!

  5. No wonder I couldn’t get it! I grew up in the South, where it is still called the “50-cent piece.”

  7. I was gonna say any coin. If you find any coinage with only one face or that is minted so that only half of it is visible, it doubles (at least) in value.

    Guess I thought too much into it lol.
