How do you tell between cupronickel and silver sets?
Cupronickel sets typically have a reddish tint due to the copper content, while silver sets have a brighter, white-silver color. You can also use a magnet to distinguish between them - silver is non-magnetic, while cupronickel is slightly magnetic. Finally, you can perform a acid test or take it to a professional to determine the metal composition.

Can cupronickel bullets pierce armor?
Not very well if they have a lead core. Cupronickel is the jacket material and is not thick enough to hold up itself to much metal penetration. If the bullet has a steel core then the core would allow it to penetrate most steel plate depending on velocity of the bullet and thickness of the steel armor it was shot at. Even though the cupronickel bullet is somewhat shinny they are usually composed of approximately 75% copper. Currently there are no cupronickel bullets built to penetrate armor. Cupronickel bullets are old technology and were developed mostly by the Russians in about 1908.
What is a cupronickel coin?
A cupronickel coin is a coin that is made of an alloy of copper and nickel. Current US dimes, quarters and half dollars have an outer cladding of cupronickel, while 5-cent pieces are solid cupronickel. Many British and Australian coins are also struck in cupronickel. A blend of 75% copper/25% nickel is frequently used for coins because its color resembles silver while the high copper content allows it to be easily struck in coin presses. Other percentages are sometimes used; for example British 20p coins are made in an 84/16 ratio of copper to nickel.
