85 years old . In 1941, the U.S. was minting the Mercury dime (the Liberty Head dime with the winged cap). Every regular-issue dime that year—Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco—used this same silver alloy.
Why copper was added
Pure silver is too soft for circulation. The small amount of copper:
Makes the coin harder
Reduces wear
Keeps details sharper longer
Fun comparison
Pre-1965 dimes (like 1941): 90% silver
1965 and later dimes: copper-nickel clad (no silver at all)
