gollark: So I guess it's a bit lower since that silver is out of circulation?
gollark: *But*, the RNG probably doesn't have memory of which ones were dropped, so it has just as much chance of dropping another silver as it usually would, except the system is weird and picks a new set every hour or so, so I don't really know.
