20 u/[deleted] Feb 14 '24 What? They're not even solid copper any more?! Fed is really penny pinching to save money 45 u/Greeneman6 Feb 15 '24 been that way since October 1982 fyi :) 5 u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24 Thanks, that's interesting, I had no idea 4 u/spicolispizza Feb 15 '24 Did you know quarters were made out of 90%+ silver until 1964 in the US and 1967 in Canada? 1 u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24 That I did know. First few runs (circa 1950-60s) of 20c & 50c coins here in Australia were also high content silver, as were the Shilling coins pre-decimal. 2 u/spicolispizza Feb 15 '24 Nice. I remember finding pre-67 coins in the wild on occasion as late as the early 2000s. Don't think any are still out there though. 1 u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24 For sure not in the wild, numismatic (coin collection) circles and markets I would imagine now.
