Very cool.
I guessing some kid got into his fathers coin stash.

Cool, haven't gotten silver in change for a long time.
Wow, "sweet" !!!
Probably from some guy fleeing the lava.
When I was a freshman in college, the closest restaurant of any kind was McDonalds. I ate lunch there three days a week - same choice - 2 big Macs, large fries, and a chocolate shake. Total cost was $2.15.
Before you give me a "DISAGREE", I was a strapping youngster back in 1972 and I don't eat there anymore with the exception of ordering a "senior" coffee from time to time.
Here is the menu from the early '70's - lunch and dinner only - no breakfast. The ice cream was decent.
Never got silver in change in 1972.

Glicker probably complained when the French fries and hot apple pies went up to $.26

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I guess if you have to eat at McDonalds getting a silver quarter makes it slightly less bad.

(That gets a Timbuk type cool reply)
That is why I opted for Big Macs instead of QP's with cheese- they were a nickel cheaper.

Cool pickup

Boom!!! A very, very rare occurrence these days, but every now and then one pops up...mostly silver Roosies. Pays to listen and check.

I vividly recall getting a free cheeseburger at McD's for every A on your report card.
I fed the family every quarter - at least the burger part.
They put a golden arches stamp on your report card so you couldn't double dip.

Ask your arteries in 20 years...
When I first started working in 1965 I could eat lunch at Mickey D's for 50 cents. Hamberger .15, fries .15 and a coke .15 + tax.
I never eat at McDonalds...nice you got silver back in change!
So maybe you can tell me what the F it means.

c'mon Dimeman, had to get at least two of the hamburgers?
We would have starved.
I only got A's in PE. I got several D---'s! They didn't want to flunk me and get me back for another year!
Silly Haole get with the program as in Hawaiian it means Really, Really. Really Cool as it has 3 exclamation points
Nice, did you ask for change for another dollar, just in case?
Collector, occasional seller
I hate to admit it...but yeah I did. 4 more quarters in my pocket now. No more sikver....but the drawer was full when I peaked over. Maybe I should have asked for $10....
So based on the vintage menu, a quarter bought you a large root beer in 1972 (probably 16 oz back then.) Quarter at melt is worth about $3.20 which today would buy you the 32 ounce gluttons gulp with change left over.
The clad quarter buys you nothing.
I've read where they do that now to help pay for the surgery after a heart attack.
Yeah, okay, but did you get the correct change back?
Mcdonalds did a game every olympics, get a game card with an olympic event, if an american won gold, u got a big mac, silver, fries, bronze a soda, you wanted swimming events, in the 72 and 76 games, americans always finished, 1-2-3, free meal
Your find was a real "QUARTER" pounder.
That is great.... getting silver in change is rare now, but makes one feel good...I always try to peek into the cash drawer to see if there are any fifty cent pieces... Occasionally there are.... only once was there a silver Kennedy, and that was years ago... Cheers, RickO
