GOLD!
« on: February 11, 2013, 09:51:45 PM »
First background, I'm a cashier... I hate it... it sucks... :bhead

Now to the story, today I ordered quarters for my register since I was completely out. When they finally arrived I found a gold quarter mixed in... yes... gold. I don't know yet if it is real gold but it is a real quarter. Naturally, I like the old and the rare so I swapped it out for a quarter in my pocket to keep. I seriously doubt it's made of gold, but it looks like it has either been discolored by some chemical (would be one nasty chemical IMO), or it has been gold plated for some reason.  :headscratch:

Anyone ever hear of something like this before?

I'll try, it's hard to get a nice clear picture with a 5 year old camera on something so small.

You sure it's not a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin?

Better check for a CSA stamp on it.

  It's very common to find Silver in the coins at banks. Never found gold. When cashing my checks will ask to get some half dollar coins and go though them. Sometimes you get lucky and find some silver.  :aok

Sounds to me that it might be a gold plated quarter, I couldn't find anything indicating gold quarters were ever minted.  

What year was the quarter minted?

Something is telling me it was minted in 2003.

In Denver...

You might be right about that.

Provided 'Dragon Tamer' has the same type of quarter that 'Old Sport' posted a photo of... :salute

I once raised 4000 FIM from a cash machine. They gave 50,- notes. When I counted the money afterwards I found out that I had 450 too much and mixed in the 50 notes was a 500 bill. Stuff happens even at the banks!

Old sport nailed it, it looks exactly like the quarter I have. Great news that he found it though, my pics didn't turn out anyway.

For clarification, yes it is a 2003 quarter minted in Denver.
