    Can someone tell me what makes a dime the color of a penny? It was in with my pennies as the color blended pretty well with them.
    Thank you in advance for the reply :)

    Likely just some environmental toning after being around for 20 years.

    The clad layer is composed of Cupro-Nickel. There is copper mixed with nickel. the copper has darkened due to exposure to the elements.

    Thank you all for the answers Ive never seen a dime like this. Its similar to either a penny or Sacajawea in person.
