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

    That is why I opted for Big Macs instead of QP's with cheese- they were a nickel cheaper.

    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.

    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.

    Nice, did you ask for change for another dollar, just in case?

    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. ;)

    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
