See how it is different colors on the edge ? That&#039;s because the coin is made by bonding together 3 layers of metal. It&#039;s like a sandwich. The copper is the middle or the meat. The copper/nickel alloy (the silver colored part) is the outside or the bread. That&#039;s why we call todays coins &quot;clad&quot;. It&#039;s because they take a layer of copper and clad it with two layers of copper/nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>When someone says that a coin is missing clad layers - it means the bread is missing from the sandwich. The outer layers, the silver colored ones are not there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
