<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 38946, member: 1910&quot;]Most vending machines, coin counters, and Coinstar machines determine what value a coin is by its weight.&nbsp; The silver coins&#039; weight is different enough from the clad coins that any machine will kick them out.&nbsp; It&#039;s why darkside (and greyside) coins are always unaccepted.&nbsp; For a US coin to go through 40+ years without finding its way into a vending machine is exceedingly rare, almost to the point of being statistically impossible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even cents run into the weight problem.&nbsp; Until the zinc cents in 1982, cents weighed just over 3 grams.&nbsp; Now they weigh 2.5.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
