Found silver

Truly free found silver doesn't happen to me very often - even bank found silver still comes at face value. And this was truly a tiny bit, but it still created a small charge - pathetic huh? Tonight at the counter I spot an odd looking coin resting on top of the magnet but obviously not magnetic (or it wouldn't have gotten there. So small it apparently fell through the cracks! After I clean the rest of the coin off the magnet I yank out the magnet and this thing drops to the floor with an interesting sound. It is so thin and small I can barely pick it up - a 1960 Venezuelan 25 centimos coin, which (as it states on the coin) is 1.25 grams of 0.835 fine silver. Cool! Haven't had one of these before. Worth less than a buck, but still silver is silver!
