Sorry Dennis but I have some questions to ask before I can answer your questions.
In your questions on the NCV coins are you referring to a .999 silver round or a clad round not made from a precious metal such as SILVER?
If there is no silver how can they call them silver strikes? Also the pictures I have seen of the new Silver Strike machine does have in big letters Silver Strike at the top. In the newspaper that I have with the picture of the strike machine it does state The Silver Strike slot on the S2000 platform is a mother lode of slot excitement. With an innovative souvenir coin dispenser it the top box, the winning symbol combinations trigger the top coin box dispenser. No wooden nickles here... the game can dispense merchandise, commmemorative tokens or collectable coins.
