| | Dime (United States coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While now made of sandwich-like clad layers of cupro-nickel (an alloy of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel), dimes were originally made of 89.24 percent silver and 10.76 percent copper, the expense of which required the coins to be very small in order to prevent their intrinsic value being worth more than face value. | | | No dimes at all bear the dates of 1922, 1932, or 1933, and the next rarest date after 1916-D is 1921-D. | | | Arrows at the date in 1853 and 1873 indicated changes in the coin's mass, initially from 2.67 grams to 2.49 grams to combat rising silver prices, then to 2.50 grams to make the dime one-tenth the mass of a French 5-franc piece. |

| | Half dime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Canada also once used silver coins of five-cent denomination; they were colloquially referred to as "fish scales," due to the fact that they were very thin (the term "half dime" never having been used in Canada), and were produced until Canada also switched to nickel five-cent pieces in 1922. | | | These coins were much smaller than dimes, in diameter and thickness, appearing to be "half dimes". | | | In the 1860s, powerful nickel interests successfully lobbied for the creation of new coins, which would be made of a copper-nickel alloy; production of such coins began in 1865 and were struck in two denominations — three cents and five cents (the latter debuting in 1866). |

| | Half Dimes |
| | The design used on the half dime coins of 1796 and 1797 followed suggestions made by artist Gilbert Stuart, the man whose painting of Washington is the model for the vignette on the current dollar bill. | | | Congress moved to revamp the entire coinage system, doing away with several denominations while paving the way for the nickel composition 5-cents coin to replace the half dime once and for all. | | | According to Breen, the appearance of the denomination on the coin put the by now antiquated term "half disme" to rest in favor of 5-cent coin or half dime. |

| | The subsidiary silver coinage of dimes and half dimes served as the standard against which the millions of other coins in circulation were valued. | | | Although it is possible to assemble a complete uncirculated set of Legend half dimes by date and mintmark (sans the 1870-S), few collectors try. | | | The Coinage Act of 1873 changed the weights of dimes, quarters and half dollars to conform with metric standards. |

| | Reeded edges were eventually incorporated into the design of these denominations to deter counterfeiting and fraudulent use of the coins, for example, filing down the edges in an attempt to recover the precious metals. | | | The first U.S. five-cent coins (nickels) were made of silver, and were smaller than the ten-cent coins (dimes) in circulation today. | | | These cents are less expensive for the Mint to manufacture, and at 2.5 grams each, weigh about 20% less than the cent previously minted of 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc, which weighed 3.11 grams. |
