It's not really possible to tell because there is no way to keep track of the number of coins taken out of circulation due to loss, storage, damage, etc.
You can get yearly mintage figures from a number of sites. Please view the Related Link below.
The second link shows the mintage figures for every type of US dime ever made. Remember, almost all dimes before 1964 are no longer in circulation as collectors kept them because of their silver content or rarity.
All circulating dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel and are only worth face value. The only circulating dimes that contain silver are dated 1964 and earlier.
All circulating dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel, not silver.
From 1796 to 1964, all US dimes were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Starting in 1965 all circulating dimes have been made of copper-nickel. Since 1992, special "prestige proof" dimes have been made in 90% silver but these are only for sale to collectors and investors.
No one appears on the back of a dime, but on currently circulating dimes, Franklin D. Roosevelt appears on the front.
1964 was the last year for a 90% silver dime. No circulating coin was pure silver.
US dimes were 90% silver through 1964. In 1965, the US shifted to clad coinage (75% copper, 25% nickel) for circulating coinage.
All circulating dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel and are only worth face value. The only circulating dimes that contain silver are dated 1964 and earlier.

It's worth exactly 10 cents; the US stopped using silver in circulating dimes in 1964.
It depends on when it was minted. Modern dimes don't contain any silver, but up till 1964 all US dimes were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. When the price of silver shot up in the 1960s the Mint was forced to remove silver from circulating coins, so all circulating dimes and quarters dated 1965 and later, and halves and dollars dated 1971 and later, have no silver in them.
Here are the production tables for circulating 2011 dimes: Denver mint: 754 million Philadelphia mint: 748 million Total made: 1502 million
The US never made 40%-silver dimes. All dimes up till 1964 were 90% silver. All circulating dimes 1965 and later are copper-nickel. Please post a new question with the coin's date and mint mark.
Very definitely. Up till 1964 all US dimes were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. When the price of silver shot up in the 1960s the Mint was forced to remove silver from circulating coins, so all circulating dimes and quarters dated 1965 and later, and halves and dollars dated 1971 and later, have no silver in them.
Dimes minted from 1892 to 1916 were designed by Charles Barber, not George Morgan. Morgan never designed any circulating US dimes. Please determine your coin's date, then look for questions worded "What is the value of a (date) US dime?" e.g. What is the value of an 1887 US dime?
