How much money does six-bits equal in U.S. currency?

Thank you dad for teaching me this so many years ago!

ManiacalBrain44800, One can never trust the movies to be accurate. Ever undaunted by history/facts Holywood's 'biographical' film of Cole Potter portrayed him as a suave, ladies' man. He was certainly suave but gay to the marrow. They have been wreaking havoc on Scripture since D. W. Griffith in the early silent movie days. Any film billed as "based on a true story" should include the words "very loosely"!

AtavisticCentaur6626, It should say a bit is "about 3 quarters or 75 cents." The approximation comes from converting pesos to dollars. 1 bit = 1/8 peso which was "about" 12.5 cents.
