Now sometimes when you have a lot of coins, it could take forever to go through them, but there is a little trick that I'm going to tell you today about how to help you go a little bit quicker. Coins prior to '64 that are silver are going to be white on the edges. If it's after '64 on, let's say, a quarter, it's going to be copper. So if you take a stack of, let's say, quarters and then you look at the sides, the ones that are copper are spending money, is worth a quarter, but the ones that show white instead of brown There's a good chance that they're silver. Can you find the 2 copper quarters in this example? Can you find the 3 silver quarters in this example?
