A lot of people like the beer theory, no matter what it is being used to explain. It's in a LOT of places every year
I tried the beer thing, not US domestic but German Pilsener and it turns copper pink and that includes the edges. They do not remain copper. In a previous posting someone enquired why a quarter had solid copper edges but no ridges. The answer was not beer, in fact, the answer was someone spooned the edges thereby the solid copper and also raised rims. There are no raised rims on the coin pictures I sent, and certainly the copper is not pink, cleaned maybe, but not pink. The coin weighs 4.7 g which is consistent with losing a clad layer. Like I said, good enough. I collect coins as a hobby.I have never sold a coin. I can't be disappointed because other than the value of the coin itself like a nickel,dime,quarter..well I have them right here,I may lose some i depreciation of the currency but it's no big deal. Because the time I invest into this hobby is worth more than the coins to me. So take it easy on me, I'm not your competition. But thanks for the beer idea! Nice cold pilsener. Yeah the Oktoberfest is in Munich but there's an Oktoberfest in almost any town or city in Germany or Salzburg,Austria where I was born. Munich is for the tourists.
I am only saying that what is happening is being aloud by you and only you. I exercise my freedoms, freedom of choice, freedom of speech, and use all the benefits that are aloud to me by my constitution. I would impress on the community to go read your Constitution and Bill of Rights immediately. I fear that these two documents are under attack and crippled. If you ever want those freedoms again. then you better start exercising them.
