It's not even .9 troy ounces of silver. Quarters made before 1965 are 90% silver but the amount of silver is only .18 troy ounces which is worth approximately $4.10 USD keeping in mind that melting US currency is not legal.
I was just about to chime in when I saw the fucking quarter. How do you get to be so bad at being a sov cit that you don’t even know how “real” money (silver and gold) works?
so are telling me all those places that have the penny melters are doing illegal work?
Penny melters? The penny crushing machines?
i guess yeah, applying an incedible amount of pressure to deform the penny (which inherently also increases temperature)
Makes sense why they always come out warm. Also, if it's illegal to destroy currency, how do they get away with it? Is it just cause they're pennies?
