<p>[QUOTE="xlrcable, post: 1960898, member: 41288"]Lots of sources give the composition of the Aztec calendar 5 and 10 centavos as copper-nickel, but before now I'd never seen the exact ratio specified. So they're 80/20? It makes sense, because I often see them looking distinctly pinkish. It doesn't happen to US clad so I guess 75% copper is about the limit if you want that alloy to stay looking silver-gray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
