It is unlikely that you have a clad 1964 quarter, all quarters dated 1964 should be 90% silver, not the copper-nickel clad of 1965-present. Look on the rim of your coin, if it is a solid color (usually solid white but silver tones easily to different colors) it is silver, if it has a line of copper through it it is clad (compare it with a quarter from your pocket change). If it is clad, it is an error and worth quite a bit of money. If it is silver it is worth about $6 for the silver content.
US cents are made of copper-plated zinc. Dimes, quarters, and halves have copper cores clad in cupronickel (25% nickel alloyed with 75% copper) Dollars have copper cores clad in manganese brass. Please see the Related Link for more information.
Copper clad pots and pans allow a more even distribution of heat. This eliminates uneven cooking and hot spots. Copper clad pans also respond immediately to any temperature adjustment.

In general anyone in the market for new pots and pans should buy the best they can afford.
