<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 960580, member: 68&quot;]The FED calculates the face value of the coins by weight and this is what they pay.&nbsp; If you bend a quarter in half it&#039;ll still weight the same as a quarter so you get 25c.&nbsp; if you drill a big hole in it it will get figured for less.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most bad coin just gets tossed in the garbage because it&#039;s too expensive to redeem them.&nbsp; The big counting houses will toss anything that won&#039;t go through their machines (including brand new errors) into bins which get sent back to the mint.&nbsp; Most redeemed coins actually come from city incinerators.&nbsp; These get redeemed by the truckload.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
