In today’s economy, a quarter may not be worth much, but historically it has been quite valuable. This is due in part to the fact that a quarter is made of silver. Silver is a precious metal that has been used for currency and other purposes for centuries. Even though a quarter is no longer made of silver, it still retains some of its value.
How much is a quarter worth?
The quarter (also called a quarter dollar) is worth 25 cents. This is because it was traditionally made of silver and is worth about that much on the precious metals market. However, as a result of inflation and other factors, today’s quarter does not actually contain any silver.
Despite this, quarters are still quite valuable for many purposes. They can be used to make change in stores, to play certain arcade games, and to do laundry in some laundromats. They can also be collected as a hobby. Many people enjoy trying to find quarters with different designs or from different years.
