Joe, I don't remember you ever saying how long those safes have been
there,
but before you spend the change, check the dates on the coins to see if
they
are of any collector value. Pre 1964 (I think) they would be silver and
worth more these days than face value.

Plus, they make a much more pleasant "ting" sound when they clank together!

Seriously,

If you ever find two or more real silver coins, shake them around in your
hand
together and listen.

Then take a couple of those zinc/copper sandwiches they call quarters, and
try
the same thing, and see how dead they sound.

Just another bygone pleasure future generations will never know about.

(In fact, some people reading this might not think this is true. All I can
say is, try it.
You may have to borrow a couple silver coins (or buy) from a coin store)
