10 cents for the copper and nickel underneath the gold plating.

The U.S. has never made dimes out of gold. After all, if you think about it for a second or two, with gold at roughly $900/ounce and a dime being about 1/12 of an ounce, even the most boneheaded government bureaucrat wouldn't authorize a circulating dime that's worth $80!
