[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 4958702, member: 59677"]Because it would have had to be 88% copper 12% nickel (that's the NET proportions of the clad sandwich). It's not just weight, it's the electronic signature of the coins that some acceptors use. Even today, there is a bill recently submitted to congress by a couple of idiots directing the mint to look at alternate compositions (which the mint has been doing for a dozen years).
