Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 10:14 pm I'm not going to pop it....my question was a joke. Does anyone know if the early loonies were plated or solid? Charlton lists the composition as .915 nickel and .085 bronze but doesn't mention plating for this year. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 01:12 am They are not solid... I think clad is a better term than plated - because the bronze layer is pretty darn thick. If you search here for photos posted by Zonad, you'll see a few examples where someone peeled back a bit of the bronze layer.
