[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2332777, member: 69760"]Are they simply two separate discs of different diameters which are "fused" together? Or, is one of the layers essentially a thick clad layer? If it's simply "fused" together as two separate discs that aren't overlapping, then is it possible to push the center out and end up with two separate metals? I only have one in my collection and I don't want to poke the polar bear to find out... (it's a $2 Canada polar bear Sterling-Cu bimetallic, same as the one pictured below). Thanks in advance!
