Best Answer

You can make lacquered copper antiques look new again by washing the item in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive towel. You can make unlacquered copper antique look new again by scrubbing the item with a salt covered lemon until all the tarnish is gone. The item should then be rinsed, dried, and polished.

That means they are like a sandwich. They have a layer of copper and nickel on the top and bottom, and copper in the middle. If you look at the side of a quarter, you can see the copper.
