Miss Liberty, she is not a real person, but the designer's stylized symbolic interpretation of what she looks like.
10 cents. Get with the program. ^ ^ ^This person clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. Since the dime is 90% silver, it is worth its melt value in silver. Which is more like $2.50.. Get with the program..

A Proof dime is a dime that has been made using special techniques. Most US Proof coins are struck at least twice, and handled individually with tongs or gloved hands. While modern US Proof coins have a mirror-like background, or field, and satiny devices (raised areas), a Proof from 1941 may be all shiny or have a matte finish. A 1941 Proof dime is a Proof dime minted for 1941. (Note: if the intent was to ask for the value of this dime, see the Related Question "What is the value of a 1941 Proof US dime," a link to which can be found to the left below the blue "pod.")
It's NOT A REAL PERSON but the designers representation of what Miss Liberty looks like.
Silver is basically gold well it feels like gold but its silver definitely looks like silver so yeah and the dime is silver along with the quarter.
Canada last minted silver 5-cent coins in 1921, but they weren't called "nickels" at that time. Instead they were more like the old US half-dime coins that circulated in the 19th century. The Canadian 5-cent piece wasn't called a nickel until 1922 when new, larger nickel-based coins replaced the old silver ones.
The dime couldn't have been printed as a penny. Different productions and not connected during the minting process. Sounds like your coin is a damaged one.

The coins themselves aren't magnetic, but Canadian dimes made since mid-1968 are attracted to a magnet.Up till that year the coins were made of an alloy of copper and silver, neither of which is attracted to a magnet. The rising price of silver forced the Royal Canadian Mint to reduce the amount of silver from 80% to 50%, then eliminate it completely in favour of pure nickel. By the turn of the century the price of nickel had also increased to the point where the RCM switched to plated steel. Both of those metals are strongly attracted to magnets.
10 cents. Unless it's uncirculated proof-like, then it's worth about $1.
