See me post #14.
Thanks for the information though, I appreciate it.
I was a student once too. However, you can examine your change. If you see dimes/coins dated before 1965 put them in your piggy bank.
Likewise keep all your nickles. It’s a start, and better than nothing.
If you could do it, you might even just keep all your change until you have enough to buy a silver dime, or quarter or what ever.
