Nope! If they did, I wouldn't keep buying the bags off the machine in town. Of course, that also means I get piles of canadian ones too...

No, most of them dont. Most likely the reason the dimes got rejected is because the machines are tuned in to kick out CA dimes and the silver in the dimes confusing the machine to think its ca.

Not sure how sensitive they are to reject silver (2.5g vs. 2.25g), but they sure don't like clad-layer-missing error dimes like the one I found a couple weeks ago :-) (2g)

At first, I was excited because I thought I found an abandoned silver, but the date was 1965 even though it didn't look right at all (toned dark at first glance). Then I was thinking about it and thought maybe it was a 1965 on a silver planchet (jackpot!), but alas it was just clad-layer missing. Still a nice find.

If it's really a missing clad layer it's worth more than a silver dime, so- nice find!
