Found in my change a couple weeks ago:
1965 quarter and 1966 quarter
I had a handful of change from the supermarket, and noticed a sound that didn't sound like regular change. At first I thought I'd been given some foreign coins.
I'm guessing these sounded that way because they have a bit more heft than contemporary quarters. They stopped using real silver in these coins in mid-1965, and mine is clearly after that date if you inspect the side of the coin. But I think even so, it weighs more than a 2023 quarter.
Kinda astonishing to think they've been circulating for more than 50 years.
