965 was a very interesting year in the history of the dime. Until then, dimes had been made of 90 per cent silver. But silver was expensive – and becoming more so. A more cost effective solution was needed.
1965 saw the introduction of a new type of dime. This coin had a solid copper core, clad in a cupronickel alloy. The cladding was comprised of three quarters copper and one quarter silver. And it gave the new coin a similar silver appearance to the old one.
It was also a similar weight – just under 2.3 grams, compared to the 2.5 grams of the silver coin. And it conducted electricity in a similar way. This was important, as it meant the new coins could be used in existing vending machines.
