Circulating coins were never made out of pure silver. It's too soft and would wear out very quickly. Up till 1964 US dimes, quarters, and half dollars were made from an alloy of 90% silver with 10% copper added to make the metal hard enough to resist wear. Since then the coins have been struck on so-called "sandwich" blanks consisting of a pure copper core clad on each side with an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Also, production of 90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars resumed in 1992 but these coins are sold only to collectors and at prices reflecting their silver content.
