Revere Ware copper clad bottom pots are made from stainless steel with a layer of copper sandwiched between it and a layer of aluminum. This construction allows for excellent heat conductivity and even cooking, as the copper distributes heat quickly and uniformly. The stainless steel exterior provides durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The combination of these materials makes Revere Ware pots popular for both home cooks and professional chefs.
True "Reverware" is worth more than a no-name brand copper clad bottom pan. However, there is not much money in recycling those pans for metal content. They are excellent cookware and are worth keeping to cook with, but there is not much of a collectors market for them.
Copper clad refers to a material or surface that has a layer of copper adhered to it. This is commonly used in the construction of printed circuit boards (PCBs) where a thin layer of copper is bonded to a non-conductive substrate like fiberglass to create the electrical pathways on the board.
It is a steel infrastructure clad with copper.

Paul Revere was a silversmith who also made copper items. Some of these were pans with copper bottoms because they cook better with the copper. In the last 50 or 60 years a company began called Revere Ware. They have been making high end pots and pans with copper bottoms and now they have gone into other things that relate to cooking and dishes.
"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.
Well, honey, clad coins have been minted since 1965. The good ol' US of A decided to start making coins out of a cheaper metal sandwiched between layers of a more valuable one. So, if you're talking about those shiny, multilayered beauties, you're looking at 1965 and beyond.
They're the same, actually. Copper-clad pots are always made out of stainless steel, so the pots are identical. The trick is that a copper-clad stainless pot absorbs heat better due to the copper cladding - the copper conducts heat better than stainless.
US cents are made of copper-plated zinc. Dimes, quarters, and halves have copper cores clad in cupronickel (25% nickel alloyed with 75% copper) Dollars have copper cores clad in manganese brass. Please see the Related Link for more information.
Copper-nickel clad "sandwich" metal, the same as dimes and quarters.
The value of your pan is not very much. The type of pan you ask about is very common and has been made by the Revere Ware company for the past 50 or 60 years. There are many many of these pans still made and used ones can be found in second hand stores.
Clad coins are regular coins, all US dimes, quarters, half's and dollars made since 1965 to date are "clad". Each coin has a center core of pure copper and a layer of copper-nickel or silver on both sides of the coins. The only coins made for circulation after 1965 that had any silver were the 1965 to 1969 Kennedy half dollars but they are 40% "silver clad" coins.
