US dimes were composed of silver and copper. From 1796 to 1837 they contained .8924 % silver and .1076% copper. Starting in 1837 the composition was changed to 90% silver and 10% copper. This was used until 1964. In 1965 the composition was again changed to a core of pure copper with outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Some 90% silver dimes are still minted today for special coin sets only.
