A current quarter, made of far cheaper metals, weighs just 5.67 grams.

Thanks, Mike and welcome to the forum. Hope to see you around the campus. As to these quarters, it's a minor point I know but with the way these two guys are handling them, I have a hard time believing these bags weigh 50 lbs apiece.
