Stone and Pennies

[edit]

I removed the reference to Stone being responsible for prices ending in 9, such as 99 cents, since it appears to be untrue: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_166.html Pha telegrapher 23:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Pha telegrapher[reply]

Interestingly, Paul Harvey told this story on the Mar 3, 2008 edition of The Rest of the Story. I'm now curious a) what the truth is, and b) how many of Harvey's other stories may be based on myth rather than fact. -FeralDruid (talk) 10:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the penny story back into the article, with references to Paul Harvey and the article linked above. -FeralDruid (talk) 10:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
