Some quarters issued in 1967 and 1968 contain only 0.089 oz of silver. So for example $10 worth of 1966 quarters contains 6.56 oz of silver. At $30/oz that's $196.80! It's becoming increasingly rare to find these quarters now, but if you have a large collection of "old" change laying around odds are there are quite a few mixed in there.

Interesting that our money used to actually be worth something.
