<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3452989, member: 78298&quot;]If a quarter was struck out of nickel it would weigh more than 5 grams. A nickel struck out of nickel weighs 5 grams.</p><p>The nickel is thick, but the quarter is larger in area. And almost as thick.</p><p>Since a nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel and a quarter is 8.33% nickel (the clad layers are nickel silver, copper and nickel) and the rest is copper,</p><p>a quarter struck from a nickel would weigh about the same as a regular quarter. 5.67 grams.</p><p>Now if it is a quarter struck on a nickel planchet, it would weigh 5 grams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
