A clad coin is one produced by pressing, or sandwiching two or more layers of metal together. Modern American dimes and quarters are an example, where layers of nickel are pressed over a copper core.

"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.
