[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 26385812, member: 59677"]More important to match the diameter and thickness since that was what stupid vending machines measured. With Silver denser than copper and copper-nickel alloys, the weight is less. That's why the War Nickels have their peculiar alloy. However, with modern coins, the electrical signature is also important, and that's why Golden dollars have THEIR peculiar alloy.[/QUOTE]
