[QUOTE="JBK, post: 41962, member: 1101"]I’ve only been to the Indian casino in Connecticut and they still use quarters and halves, and the nickel slots take nickels but pay out slips. The slips are deadly, since you are inclined to just keep playing your credit (until it is “0”) since you otherwise would have to find the machine or cashier to cash them in. I would guess that for quarters, for example, the casino is only good for state quarters if you collect them circulated, since silver quarters would probably not be accepted by the machines and would get weeded out pretty quickly. Maybe some old nickels turn up, but there again, they are probably all going to be Jeffersons, and while I do save the older ones, I am not sure if it is worth a trip to find even a handful of nickels worth barely over face value.
