Not minerals, but metals.

United States dimes (and quarters) have, since 1965, been composed of 91.667% copper and 8.333% nickel. Prior to that date, they were composed of 90% silver and 10% copper with minor variations in percentages prior to the Civil War.

Half dollars made since 1971 are also made of copper-nickel.
