    Well, someone has to give the dumb answer so I will say they will have the same value.

    One pound $10 gold... the weight of the gold carries the value and 1 pound is worth twice as much as 1/2 a pound.

    This reminds me of that riddle, which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?

    Does this mean you're taking over payments? I could have been a majority owner in HRHs $10 set if you took over payments 5 years ago! image

    Even if you spent them at face value the pound of 10s is worth 2X of a half pound of 20s.

    Yup. One pound of gold is worth more that a half pound of gold. Is this some kind of trick question? The answer seems obvious.
