Ending in 1964 (IIRC) some US coins contained small amounts of silver.

A troy ounce is much heavier than a standard ounce. A standard US quarter weighs 0.182 troy ounces.

yep! I was ignoring the weight part; I just think a lot of people didn't know US coinage used to contain some silver.

is it? Internet says it's only ~10% more

1 Avoirdupois Ounce (oz) = 28.3 grams 1 Troy Ounce (Troy oz) = 31.1 grams A troy ounce weighs about 10% more compared to an ounce, which makes a big difference when it comes to precious metals. 1 Troy ounce = 1.097 ounce

Yeah, I guess I underestimated the weight of a standard ounce. A little heavier then.
