Best Answer
There is no silver in currently minted US dimes. Silver was replaced by copper-nickel starting with the 1965-dated coins.

Special "Prestige" proof sets containing silver dimes, quarters, and halves have been made for collectors since 1992 but these coins aren't intended for circulation.
