<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1532839, member: 22476&quot;]Well, this is all weid, because the PresBux and Sacs are supposed to have the same magnetic signature as the SBAs. The reason for this was, for the vending industry to avoid spending millions of dollars, programming in a &quot;new&quot; magnetic signature to accept the brass bux (Prez and Sac) and so that the brass and cupronickel (prez/sac/sba) coins would be universal, so I find that hard to believe, BUT I DO believe it, though. :yes:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is very interesting. I am actually glad that (to my knowledge) the Treasury Department decided to keep the SBAs in circulation, as opposed to the idea of culling them from circulation and melting them down. Why waste perfectly good coins (even if sometimes confused for quarters bt some people) I like the SBA&#039;s design and if anything, cull all SBAs from circulation, plate with the same brass as the brass bux are made of, and realease the new &quot;Golden Susies&quot; back into circulation. ( I do remember at one time, that they were considering doing this, but only, plating the SBAs with 24 Karat gold, which would have been a waste, and also, the article did mention that, NO coin containing REAL GOLD would work in a vending machine. Maybe gold just doesn&#039;t have the right magnetic signature. :rollling: )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
