Description	Dismantling of Million Silver Dollar Display, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). "The exhibit displayed one million silver dollars, weighing 33 tons. How to get rid of a million silver dollars? That is the question facing the men from Northwest Historical Medals who prepared the $1,000,000 exhibit at the Worlds Fair. If all goes well, more than half of the heap of dollars will have been sold to coin collectors before the dismantling begins in a few daysThen the unsold dollars will be shipped--under guard--to the Federal Reserve Bank in Helena, Mont."
