Question: material (s) to which the u.s. currency (Agora, nickels, dimes, etc.) are made from? I think I once heard from 60 of coins, (different time periods) was more money in them.

My answer: what you heard was true. This was the law of 1965 weights change the composition of the silver coins to the United States.The content was removed because of the price money of money would take over the face value of coins.

You can read more detail about the contents of u.s. coins and money over time on my silver coins US.

And currencies met his destiny it due to the rising cost of copper and currencies in the u.s. in the early ... made of 100% copper, but since 1982 they were made of copper, zinc, presided (kernel: 99.2% zinc,. 8% copper, with pure copper cable; the total content of zinc, copper .975 .025).

Feel free to browse various US coins if you're curious about the composition of the different currencies throughout history.
