<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2268970, member: 60292&quot;]I think that&#039;s what happens... someone sets them aside and then someone else (most likely a family member) comes along and spends them not knowing what they are. I know some people complain that not having a design change with the Roosevelt dime has taken away from the appeal of collecting them, but for silver hunters it&#039;s a good thing. Having the same design today helps disguise the silver dimes. Otherwise these people that spend/steal their older relatives coins would notice they are different and probably keep them. Same thing with Lincoln cents. There would be less wheat cents to find in circulation if they had also changed the Lincoln portrait on the obverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Getting a silver quarter and dime together in change seems remarkable (and it is). However probably not as astronomical as one would think. As you mention, they were probably sitting in the same jar together for many years until grandson Joey comes along and takes them to go buy a happy meal. Getting the two silver coins together as change most likely means you were one of the next customers after Joey.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the sound silver coins make... as another member on here used to say (bugo)... that sound is a &quot;sweet jangle&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
