This small, copper-nickel coin never would have passed as an American $5.00 coin. Why? It's too small! To be American it would've had to have been either A.) Silver or B.) Ike Dollar-sized. Silver won't be in regular, circulating currency until the world ends and re-begins and an Ike Dollar would have tampered with the U.S. citizens' "right" to convenience thus proving my point. It was fine in Greece, however, due to their non-American economy. I'm not sure what this coin would look like in Greece had they not adopted the Euro but it definitely wouldn't be worth more than the USD. This coin barely manages to be worth something at $0.30.
