Default looking for silver quarters

in the business change at my school. Been looking for a silver quarter or dime since school started and no luck. Man are those coins hard to get. Luckily this week I came across 2 bicentanial quarters. Better than nothing I guess. Guess I'm going to have to get dirty and detect them myself.

Never hurts to check as Once in a Great while you may just hit something nice. I always check My quarters especially when I make change at the Car wash. Never know if something like the Extra leaf Iowa Quarter or something like it may fall in your hands. Seek and Ye shall Find.

It must happen to somebody. Since I was young, I've been checking all change, casino, laundry and car wash change and have never gotten one. I hope you find one though! Good luck!

Default I only found one

It was a quarter at my Catholic school I used to work at. The quarter is silver and a bit wasted but you could still see the date. Ohter than that I have a feeling I will probably detect one first than get one from change. I will let you all know what happens first.

It's much easier to dig up a silver quarter than to get it in change! Also look at your pennies and nickels. I've gotten Indian Heads and Buffalo Heads before.
