Speaker Jumpers WITH Bars??? - Jumper Using Silver Coins??

Two questions:

Is there any reason I could not used both the jumper bars, included with my speakers, as well as install jumper wires, and run both at the same time?  Are there positives or negatives to doing this?

Also, if the spacing is accommodating, would usage of silver coins be an acceptable jumper between screw-down binding posts? Yes, a serious question.

The reason I'm asking this is I just reinstalled my jumper bars to my ATC SCM11 speakers, which were previously bi-wired, and I was researching opinions between bars and jumpers, and these questions just came to mind.

That's true; modern silver coins contain no silver. They are copper and nickel clad. Early coins were only 90% silver.

Regaring jumpers, if the stock bars are copper coated, IME you will have better results with a pure copper or silver jumper cable.
