A few might accidentally slip out, but it would be very unexpected. When the price of silver shot up in the 1960s nearly all silver coins were removed by people who could sell them for more than their face value. The recent run-up in silver prices has had a similar effect on any coins that might have inadvertently been missed.

Technically all versions of existing denominations are legal to use, but it would be foolish to spend a silver quarter as 25 cents when it could be sold for $2.75 to a metal dealer.
