When I was in 6th grade the school required each kid to buy a lunch token every day, and it cost a quarter for lunch. (OK, I am a geezer) Anyway you HAD to have the token, and not a quarter to get lunch. The good news - bad news for me was the person selling the tokens stopped at our room last. He would let me look through the change for silver quarters nickles, dimes, and even the occasional 1/2 dollar.
I had to use my lunch money and miss lunch regularly, but I now have a sack of worn out circulated silver coins only worth silver content. I guess most lunches are free for students, I have no idea. I have no idea what the coins are worth now, I have not looked.
