<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8281712, member: 112&quot;]Maybe you misworded your original comment, or maybe that&#039;s not really what you intended to say, but when you said this - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>- that sure sounds like you were saying that the volume changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here&#039;s the thing. If you have a quarter blank, the weight, mass, and volume of that quarter blank are exactly the same as the mass, weight, and volume of that blank after it is struck into a coin. None of the 3 change at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that maybe what you&#039;re missing or perhaps misunderstanding is that mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measure of inertia. Weigh is the measure of force. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the pull of gravity on an object.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, you&#039;re coming up with your 21.4% shortage because you are comparing 2 completely different measurements to each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
