That’s kinda funny because they are already altering it. Drop a 2023 quarter on a table and you can hear the crap metal.
It's been fifty years since they started that BS. It's not new.
Short story: fifteen years ago my secretary was going through some change and said to me "Look here. A fake quarter". She handed it to me. Pre-64 silver. I traded her for a "Real one" out of my pocket.
So you made me curious about the quarters. I had a few of each in my desk top stash. The 022’s measure about 0.069 “ thick. The 023’s here measure more like 0.064/0.065” depending on just where you grab them. But they all, including olders, weigh 5 grams. So at least Bidum figgered out a way to put cheaper, denser stuff in the new ones?
The strikes/”incusiveness” of the faces are weaker. I think they reduced it to save money on die changes.
