I hear 1966 and into the 1970 's half dollars are 40 percent silver
Because they are getting rid of coins , I just last week bought 5k worth of coins 3 grand in dollars ,, I didn't even know we had dollar coins with all the different presidents on them. I also bought Two k in half dollars. Unbelievable I wasn't expecting to find silver dollars, but in the 4 boxes of half dollars that I ordered, I found a 1943 1942 lady liberty solid silver and 6 1964 1963 solid silver ,, 8 solid silver half's. I never expected to find real solid silver from buying coins from a bank . I just bought cases of coins to put away for my kids to find 20 years from now or whenever ! I bought silver to put away as well but I'll tell you it was a whole lot of excitement to find 8 solid half's going through the coins I bought from the bank . Paying 50 cents a piece for silver halves was a score lol
Those pre-1965 coins aren't pure silver but they are 90% silver. There are plenty of websites that will break down the composition for you and the silver weight. Also during WW2 there were "war nickels" that are actually 35% silver/6% manganese/59% copper.
Those dollar coins with the presidents on them are almost pure copper with brass plating. They do have a nice ring to them.
Pennies shifted away from pure copper to copper-plated zinc midway through 1982, you have to do the sound test on the 82's to figure out which are which. Copper ones have a nice ring to them while the zinc ones sound dull, if you have pre-82 and post-82 pennies you can compare them to figure out if your 82's are copper or not. Pennies from 1943 were actually made of steel because copper was needed more for the war effort and are neat curiosities.
Thank you for all that info , yes I remember now hearing they r 90 percent , ty !those President dollars are cool out of 2 k dollars box I got 1 Kennedy and 1 Reagan ,most of the dollars were Susan b Anthony and Sacajawea , I was kind of ashamed that some of the presidents I never heard of , it made me buy a book of the Presidents just because I love History and realized I never even heard of some of these dudes.
Yeah thanks it was cool I actually ordered 2 more boxes lol just to check, it only takes a few minutes u can spot the silver the minute u undo the roll , actually it's undoing the paper that takes the most time takes a few seconds to spot the real ones . I'll just return the ones I don't want , If I find more in this round I may do it again ! I am saving some of the more rare half , some dates are hard to find ! I figured it would be cool for my kids , but yeah I have to say I was really stoked , mainly because I in no way expected to find silver, I opened the rolls to put them in tubes according to the years for my kids and was like ,, no flippin way !
New pennies today look like play money to me. And they disintegrate so quickly. My daughter found one the other day and it's in such poor condition, I don't know if any store would take it. Everything in our country has gone to pot.
Personally, I never had to deal with it. See signs everyway at major chain stores and fast food joints, but in all this time I've yet to have a problem with change. In fact, I'm the type that people hate because I always refuse to "donate to charity by rounding up my order/bill" since I all but know it's going into some cabal freaks coffers.
So as a result I ALWAYS get my change back, out of principle if nothing else.
i dont really trust charities anyway. once you look into how much a charity actually pays out, how much their officers get paid, their "values", who their big whale donors are, how similar a "charity" and "non profits" are to actual for-profit companies, it really takes the joy out of giving
I tend to still give to local charities, but I live in a rural area where everyone basically knows each other to some extent so it's not like I don't know exactly where it's going when I give something to the old sweet grandma I've gossiped with in line at the store when she has a sign advertising a Church collection for providing food for local underprivileged kids or paying off someone's medical bills whose kid I went to school with, etc. etc.
But yeah, I steer clear of anything corporatized. Corporate charities are basically just legal tax evasion organizations.
Giant charities are almost 100% garbage. Real charity requires a minimal relationship between giver and receiver. Otherwise it is no different than a government handout.
Funny that the pharmacies still took cash as I did see one business try to claim it wasn't a shortage it was to cut down on spreading germs because money is dirty while the card reader can be easily wiped down.
I kid you not early in the shutdown I had a transaction where when I handed my card to the cashier they wiped it down with a wet wipe before swiping it. Nevermind the nonsense though that they were wearing the same gloves for every customer which defeats the purpose of them but masktards are after all retarded.
Went to a quick trip gas station. Bought coffee that was $1.08 and paid with $2. Expecting $.92 in change, they gave me a receipt that said “credit $.92” and said to bring it in next time lol
Because when the (current) USD goes to shit, any coin is well beyond worth it's fiat value currently. Zinc isn't too shabby for shotgun shot, nickel and copper are both valued industrial metals, etc. Taking out coins from circ, and stopping the minting of new ones wastes less money in the long term for the Cabal.
Suburbs west of Chicago: only saw those signs in big chain stores like Meijer or Target and the only restaurant chain I saw it in was Portillo's. All small chains and mom & pop stores were like "what coin shortage?" They stopped with that crap several months ago.
Yeah it seems like it was an attempt to condition people to only use plastic. Honestly I do just use credit cards at those places as I'm not going to carry hundreds of dollars with me all of the time to go grocery shopping at today's prices. I reserve cash for the few places that give a cash discount.
United States 5 cent nickels are 8 cents worth of metal for starters.

Awesome congrats on the silver finds! I'll have to try.
Yeah thanks it was cool I actually ordered 2 more boxes lol just to check, it only takes a few minutes u can spot the silver the minute u undo the roll , actually it's undoing the paper that takes the most time takes a few seconds to spot the real ones .

my thought. pennies still have a decent amount of copper in it too (not as much as they used to)
Pre 1982 pennies 3 cents of metal
Post 1982 pennies worth 1.1 cents of metal

thank you
I read that it is part of conditioning us to digital currency only.
possible, and probably right, but just seems like a lot of work to go around to all these chains and just scoop up tons and tons of coinage
The places that were doing it didn't even want to accept coinage and insisted on credit/debit. They didn't even want your dirty physical money.
Personally, I never had to deal with it. See signs everyway at major chain stores and fast food joints, but in all this time I've yet to have a problem with change.

yea, local charities, small churches, you know your money is going back into the community.
Giant charities are almost 100% garbage. Real charity requires a minimal relationship between giver and receiver. Otherwise it is no different than a government handout.
Wal-mart by me was the same way. Every non-chain restaurant, gas station, even pharmacies didn't care.
But still begs the question: someone has to be scooping up all this money, who? and what do they plan to do with it?
Funny that the pharmacies still took cash as I did see one business try to claim it wasn't a shortage it was to cut down on spreading germs because money is dirty while the card reader can be easily wiped down.

haha I had a cashier do that, acted like i just handed her a used condom. pinching it on the corner, handing it back to me just holding the sides.
I used to handle money in my younger days, hardly ever got sick.
I also worked in retail for my first job as a teenager and even got sent on the bank runs. Never got sick from handling money.
Never even appeared in my community (rural SW Missouri).
Went to a quick trip gas station. Bought coffee that was $1.08 and paid with $2. Expecting $.92 in change, they gave me a receipt that said “credit $.92” and said to bring it in next time lol
True
So your receipt is effectively counterfeit money...
i would take like a 5 dollar item and be like i'll bring the money in next time
Awesome
I'm keeping all my coins since the metal is worth MORE than the value of the coin.

sometimes im guilty of using a credit card at large chains and buying a very low priced item just so they have to eat the cost of using the card
Aldi did it too...also in western suburbs
