I Think I Found The Silver Lining In Getting Older ! LOL

Did that really happen?

Yes, it did today at work

My friend is a coin buff, and he would've flipped! No pun intended! lol

I'll show my co-worker the meme tomorrow. I promised to explain why I was cracking up at random about the quarter. For the record I asked him if he was sure 4 times before we exchanged quarters. When it came to mountain dew he was just like Esau

I'm a bit of a coin buff myself and so is my husband Kyle. This coin however has more value as a funny story. If I had your address I would likely mail the quarter so you could give your friend a laugh. I would consider it equal to mailing a thankyou card for the potatoes have eyes meme(mother collects potato jokes and art just to bother people)

Well, that quarter in mint condition --at the right auction-- could land you over 300 dollars

Not mint, it has been circulated. Washington's hair is worn, Liberty slightly worn

Do vendor machines need a trace of magnetism? "Silver coins" were mostly silver. They sound very different from new ones.

The weight is different, the new vending machines won't take them

So my small hoard of slugs are worthless?

If they are around 5.67 grams and same size and width as new quarter it might work if it weighs more out it falls

Just so you know I'm pleading insanity for both of us if you try it and get caught. Curiosity, dangerous for both cat and human.

Don't really have such a collection... Discovered years ago that you can't get something for nothing. In an Action-Consequence World nothing of value is free.

Even Yoda doesn't twist this around with his amusing turn of phrase...
