To be fair, it could be a pre-1965 quarter. Those had silver in them. I don't think .9 oz, but maybe one year?

A silver dollar contains 0.9oz silver.

A silver quarter is 0.225oz.

There you go, they're not even right if it's a silver quarter. Thanks.

Nah, these coins are minted for collection and investment purposes and are not meant to use as direct payment (although you can because they hold a nominal value). It doesn't make sense for any government to use material that is 100 times more expensive than the value they want to attach to it.

Sovcit just payed of $0.25 of their debt with a $28 coin because they are incredibly smart.
