<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fifty, post: 948838, member: 24555&quot;]I don&#039;t know how advanced the technology was in the 1960&#039;s. Alot of vending machines during that time were totally mechanical. Cigarette machines were not electric. Alot of machines detected the value of the coin by the size. I have heard that some modern machines and coin counters reject silver coins. I met a guy at my credit union a few weeks ago dumping change in the counter and I asked him about silver coins and he said that the machine rejects them. He runs a vending machine business. Apparently his machines take them. The only silver coins that are close in weight to their clad counter parts are the the 40% halves. I believe they are 0.16 of a gram heavier than a clad. I don&#039;t think there are alot of machines then or now that take halves. I&#039;d like to see a copy of the article you are reffering to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
