<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1146501, member: 28001&quot;]Silver dimes weigh 2.50 grams and cupro-nikel (&#039;65 to date) dimes weight 2.27 grams.&nbsp; Most vending machines sort by weight, diameter and magnetic properties.&nbsp; Steel is rejected automatically.&nbsp; Nickel has some magnetic properties and is incorporated in AlNiCo magnets (Aluminum, Nickel and Cobalt).&nbsp; As far as I know, Silver doesn&#039;t have the same magnetic signature as Nickel.&nbsp; So, weight would be the key factor in rejecting silver coins as all coins that were made of Silver that have been replaced by clad versions have a different weight.&nbsp; Check your Red Book where it gives the specifications for each coin if you have any doubts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
