Starting in 1965 US dimes and quarters are made in copper-nickel composition bonded to a core of pure copper, and are referred to as clad coinage.

Half dollars and dollars were switched to the same composition in 1971; starting in 2000 dollars have been struck using an outer cladding of gold-colored brass instead of copper-nickel.
