I have some unopened rolls I got a couple weeks ago at the bank. So just for fun, I started weighing them.

Here's something interesting. All the clad rolls came it about 224 grams (20 clad coins.) I did an experiment and sure enough, the rolls with even 1 40% coin or 1 90% coin the rolls will weigh more.

Something to ponder late at night.

I have an easier way for telling. The way it works is: If I have a roll of half dollars, there is no silver in it.

Not me, got over 225 mainly 90% 'ers this year. Never ever happened before. then at another bank got 120 40% 'ers three weeks later. I lose track of time anymore but it started in May, got 19 more 40% 'ers yesterday. Never had a year like this, but after numerous thousands of dollars in boxes, I HAVE STILL NEVER FOUND ANYTHING GOOD IN A BOX. Always from tellers.
