<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 287604, member: 2146&quot;]Recently, I stopped by one of the local Native American casinos that are abundant here in Oklahoma. While I was cashing my meager winnings at the teller, I casually asked her if she ever saw any &quot;interesting coins or currency coming through&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She told me that she collects all the silver and gold. This told me that she understood that coins minted before 1965 contained silver. But the &quot;gold&quot; comment aroused my curiousity.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I asked her if people actually came into the casinos and spent gold coinage. She showed me a couple of Sacagawea Dollars and a couple of President Dollars. I informed her that these weren&#039;t actually gold coins, but were &quot;golden colored&quot; from the manganese used.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She insisted that they were real gold coins. I politely left her window, but couldn&#039;t help laughing to myself and thinking that people truly believe there is gold in these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
