Sexing Silver Dollars

[joenrenee83]

Anyone know how to sex silver dollars? I have two that I think are both male but I'm not really sure. They are getting pretty big and it would be cool to breed them. My local fish store don't carry them.

Almost impossible I think till the female fills up with eggs

There were quite a few hits but these 3 sites had info on sexing them.
