Thanks for your understanding.

LOL, I’ll make it work for me but Randy, I’m sorry but your on your own.

 

Thank you for the analogy. I like it

 

It's a good analogy but not the best.. An Oreo cookie is made separately where they first cut out the chocolate cookies then add the stuffing between them. When the clad planchets are cut out from the stock sheet the 3 layers are cladded together before

 

That horse you got there is pretty high as well . . . .

Chill. You came here to learn. That includes using correct terminology.


It turns out that - as with any domain - using the correct terms is important. It's a shorthand that unambiguously communicates within the domain.

Clad is shorthand for a mechanically bonded sandwich of metal layers.

Copper-Nickel clad is shorthand for the US standard composition of a mechanically bonded sandwich of 75% Copper, 25% Nickel outer layers over a pure Copper core.

Alloy is a metallurgical term for a homogenous mixture of two or more metals.

In the case of US minor coinage the standard alloy is 75% Copper, 25% Nickel. In the case of US standard silver coinage it's 90% silver, 10% copper. US gold is 90% Gold, 10% Copper.

"40% Silver" from the late 60s into the 70s is actually clad. It's 80% Silver/ 20% Copper outer layers with a 79% Copper/21% Silver core -- enough silver in the core that that alloy has a silver color and so the layers are not that obvious. It nets to 40% silver.

The "Golden Dollar" (Sacagawea and Presidential) are clad. Managanese Brass with a pure copper core.

Silver War Nickels are an alloy. 56% Copper, 35% Silver, 9% Manganese.

I don't own a horse

I'm the grammer police!


Lighten up. Life is short. Have some fun.

I agree, no harm, I found it funny. I always correct the grammar and spelling of the people in my personal life. I'm asked often..."what did you do today, ride by the library?" Then they call me a smarta$$
Thanks for looking out for me @DJsMom
