Is there mercury in any coins?

Answer by  ijlalnoor (2656)

I heard that it used to be in dimes but then if you see that mercury is a liquid at room temperature so this isn't possible that they can make coins out of it.

There used to be mercury put in dimes, and as long as the dime does not go in your mouth or your body, they are relatively safe. Hope this helps!

no there isn't because at room temperature mercury is a liquid and could not hold the shape of a solid. Mercury is safe in a solid form but liquid and gas are poisonous.
