The 1983 Canadian dollar, also known as the "loon," is composed of a nickel-brass alloy. Specifically, it contains 75% copper and 25% nickel, which gives it a distinctive golden color. The coin weighs 7 grams and has a diameter of 11.5 mm. This composition was used for Canadian dollar coins minted from 1987 to 2000, including the 1983 issue.
