Coins today sure don’t feel or sound like the coins we had in the 80s. There was a certain sound change made back then. Not anymore. It’s not a “Brite Sound” now. It’s been muted. Dulled. More like clay than metal. I used to be pretty good at the old drinking game quarters... tried playing just for chits and grins the other day and the quarters had almost no bounce to them. I’d say it’s fake money...
Pennies are now basically copper clad zinc, and others are just nickel and copper sandwiches.........
