<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 262092, member: 1101&quot;]I am not an expert on specific Fed sorting practices, but I am going to disagree with those who say the Fed doesn&#039;t &quot;sort&quot; coins.&nbsp; It stands to reason that they absolutley do run them through some sort of counter that also rejects coins that are out of tolerance.&nbsp; That would be based on weight, size, and magnetic signature.&nbsp; How else would they make sure foreign coins and counterfeits did not get passed along?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for silver, if you try to use a silver coin in most (all ?) modern vending machines, it will be rejected because it does not match the settings for modern dimes or quarters.&nbsp; I imagine that fed uses the same sort of process. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for sorting SBAs from Sac $, why would they?&nbsp; The SBA is considered a valid coin that the Fed WANTS to reissue.&nbsp; So, there is no desire on their part to separate them out.&nbsp; Also, the magntic signature of the SBA is the same or very similar to Sac/Prez dollars, so sorting would be difficult or impossible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
