We used to "sand" Pennies down on the side walks/curb until they were the size of Dimes to put in Coke machines.
1961 Second grade.
It took less time/effort than hunting for Dimes and retrieving them from in the storm sewers. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

I have gotten the matching play money pennies sorting for coppers in the past.
I also got a whittled down penny sorting dimes, the TCF machine counted it as a dime, so I got my money back.
With 2 pennies, somebody spent the time to roll them down to the size of a dime. The rim is thick!
I’ve also managed to accumulate over $60 in Canadian dimes and almost £1 in 5 Pence.

No, I gave the other one to my nephew. I pulled the '09 and dime from my pocket for comparison purposes.

Y'all see anything here that's worth more than its face value?

That Canadian dime, the one that is 10 o'clock to the 2 Pfennig, what year is it? I tried enlarging the pic but it got too grainy too fast. I can't tell if it is a '66 or a '68.
If it is a '66 it is 80% Ag. If it is a '68, check it with a magnet. If it doesn't stick it is 50% Ag.
You got a George VI Canadian penny south of that 2 Pfennig...

| There looks to be a 1966 (or 1968) Canadian dime. It is 80% silver (or if 1968 50% silver) |
