Got two of those play quarters this weekend. Yours dated? One of mine was a 1974 and the other a 1969.

I've found a few and not really fooled as they are so thin I know what they are right away. Besides Uncle Sam, found a few FM type and those do not seem to be dated.

I found a '61 nickel with a hole punched in the middle of it. I was fooled when I saw it in the hole... eh, it's still interesting I guess, haha.
