Do pidyon haben coins need to be currency?

No, doesn't even have to be coins. Some opinions argue that coins with a face value is an issue, but people still seem to use them.

IIRC, 1 troy ounce is good. It may be even less.

do you know that there is a big difference between the coins at that time and the ones that they make today? if im not mistaken they used to be 90% silver but now they are 99%. its the amount of silver ounces that you need. i used 18 silver quarters for mine. even 5 of them today is more than enough.

Dating back at what year was it a safek?
 But I'm sure rav menashe Klein would have said to use 6 coins even today.
 To know you did the pidyon haben kihalacha for another $20 or so you can't go wrong.

i was just saying that because some people think that you use 5 silver coins because of 5 selaim but its the amount of ounces of silver that you need. i forgot the exact amount but yeh do whatever you want.

If that's what my father said Reb menashe Klein told him, I wouldn't do different.
 But interesting to know that it was only 90% back then as that could have been the sofek.
