Nope. You have a novelty item made by cutting apart a penny and a dime, then hollowing out the back of the penny and popping the dime-half into it like the lid on a sandwich box.
5.5 cents, LOL! But seriously, what you have is a trick coin made by cutting two genuine coins in half and fusing half of each together. It's not a mint error and has no numismatic value, I'm afraid.You can make it by doing the following 1)get a peeny and a dime 2)put the penny down on a train track(heads up)and put a dime on top of it 3)when a train rolls by and its gone pick up the coin and whala you have a dime head and a penny tail(may not always work)
Remember Roman numerals? "III" means 3, so you have a 3-cent coin, not a dime. It's an obsolete denomination that was issued to make it easier to buy postage stamps, way back when they only cost three cents.There's more information at the Related Question.
The US never minted a flowing-hair dime. A dime from 1937 would be a Winged Liberty dime, normally called a "Mercury" dime because the wings on Miss Liberty's cap make her resemble the Roman god Mercury. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1937 Mercury dime?" for more information.
The US did not make steel dimes in 1945.
Uh, remember high school chemistry? Mercury is a LIQUID at room temperature so it would be really, really, REALLY tough to make a coin out of it! This design is nicknamed a "Mercury" dime because the portrait of Miss Liberty with a winged liberty cap looks a lot like the Roman god Mercury, NOT because it's made of the metal mercury. Anyway, look at the back of your dime by the E in the word ONE. If there is a tiny S there your dime was made in San Francisco and is worth anywhere from $2 if very worn, up to about $15 with only moderate wear. If there's no letter it was struck in Philadelphia and is worth from $2 to $4.
yes if the workers screwed up enough to make a dime/penny
By far it is the penny.
4 quarters, 1 dime, and 1 penny 2 half dollars, 1 dime, and 1 penny 4 quarters, 2 nickels, and 1 penny
Penny- 2.41 cents Nickel- 11.18 Dime- 5.65 Quarter- 11.14 1$ coin- 18.03 Its absurd considering it cost twice as much to make a penny and a nickel then what they are worth.
Yes, you can make seventy-four cents with nine coins: quarter, quarter, dime, nickel, nickel, penny, penny, penny, penny
A quarter, a nickel, a dime, and a penny is only 41 cents ... not enough to make 75 cents in even one way.

The answer is three quarter's, one nickel's dime and a penny!
quarter, dime, penny. (It only works with US coins.)
You can use 7 nickels and 2 pennies.
The US has never made and never will make silver pennies. If a penny was silver it would be worth more than a dime.
Three seems about right . . . a penny, a dime, and a half-dollar.
