Quoted:
I was at the Toronto Zoo a couple of weeks ago. One of the snack bar people gave me my change and it had that funny silver sound to it. I looked at it more closely and this was there. I didn't realize that Canada had silver coins just as we did.

On a side note: the Toronto Zoo is great, especially if you have little ones

See if it's magnetic, non silver Canadian dimes are magnetic, hard to tell apart from Candian silver dimes. I think the last silver Canadian dimes were made in 1967, just going by memeory

Quoted:
I can't believe how many people can't see the difference between new and silver. Look:

Another giveaway (yeah, I collect coins as well as AR's), the head on the 2000 and + Roosevelt dimes are noticeably smaller than any 1999 and before Roosevelt dime, they had to shrink it in order to make up the room the "2" in "2xxx" makes vs the "1" in "19xx" makes.
