There is a simple solution to bring the strike program up to date with inflation. There isn't much of a strike program left, so its probably too late. The machines should be made dollar machines. They should dispense a $40 strike with a .6 ounce center. Problem solved. Clad is not the answer. Noone wants a clad strike. The machines were profitable for the casinos when silver was $10 ounce.. They would be profitable with the same strike being $40 at $40-$50 price of silver. Simple inflation of 400% from the old format would work.
