That's amazing. Nearly every fact presented there is completely wrong.

Plus, the picture is a standing liberty quarter that is nearly 90 years old and pretty much completely out of general circulation.




Could you specifically address his concerns for those not in-the-know about ML?


Sorry, my comment was ambiguous -- I was referring to the Google result. Thanks for pointing it out. The commenter that I was responding to made a great point that I agree with and was highlighting as a particularly good example of ML gone awry in the wild.

Other than the subjective statement that quarters are "useful", every fact in the google response is wrong.

Quarters are:

- Worth $0.25 (not $0.50)

- Not the largest. (Dollar coins and half-dollars are larger)

- Made of a blend of copper and nickel. (No silver content for circulating coins)

The picture depicts a standing liberty quarter that is no longer a circulating coin.

It's amazing that Google would put that in production.


I believe "Nearly every fact presented there is completely wrong" was referring to Google's snippet in the screenshot, not my comment.
