The nickel and cent are not clad coins. They are silver/copper/manganese (5 cents) mix or just copper/tin/zinc (1 cent).

Coop I may be using the term clad wrong and I apologize . Are the post 82 pennies considered clad coins ? ( copper clad zinc )

Pre 82 cents are a copper alloy mix, not clad. Midway through 1982 they changed to copper-plated zinc coins. Clad and plated are both an outer layer. It's my understanding the difference is the way it's applied. An alloy is mixed as opposed to applied.

Thanks for the compliment PBP. I may know a few things, but Coop is the master. I think we agree 98% of the time.
