Please don't assume that every older coin must be made of silver. Canadian 5¢ coins haven't contained any silver since 1921. Since that time they've mostly been made of nickel or plated steel; during WWII they were made of brass.

The 1968 dime is 99.9% nickel. This was the first year the dime wasn't made of silver. Prior to 68, the dime was 80% silver, 20% copper.
