<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 3179739, member: 81991&quot;]I think that they are, But the word &quot;Clad or Cladding&quot; seems to take on a different </p><p>meaning when used in the Numistmatic world. So does the word &quot;Plating&quot;.</p><p>&quot;Copper Coated Zinc&quot; is a more realistic term for the cents being produced today. Plating has an inference of Thickness. As in &quot; the US Consitution is Clad with Iron Plating, that is why it is called &quot;Old Ironsides&quot;.</p><p>MM&#039;s are candy-coated chocolate , and that coating is thicker than the copper on a Plated cent.</p><p>&nbsp;The Nomenclature is in place, it may not be correct. And I don&#039;t think it will ever be changed.&nbsp; No one would ever be able to overcome the &quot;Thickness&quot; you would have to deal with to change such a thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
