The production of silver quarters in the United States ended in 1964. From that year onward, quarters were made from a clad composition, which consists of copper and nickel. Prior to 1965, quarters minted from 1932 to 1964 contained 90% silver and 10% copper.
Answer
What are 1970s pennies made from?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Pennies minted in the 1970s are made from a composition of 95% copper and 5% zinc. This composition was used for U.S. pennies from 1909 until 1982, when the composition changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper to reduce production costs. So, all pennies from the 1970s contain a higher copper content compared to those produced after 1982.
