As a journalist, it’s often the case that I relate a lot of life’s situations back to my musings - or trials and tribulations - at the keyboard (and I’m not talking about the 88 on my office piano, which is perhaps a story for another day).

Clad refers to coins that have a core and outer layer made of different metals. Since 1965, with the passage of the Coinage Act of 1965, all circulating U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars have been composed of two cupro-nickel faces bonded to a core of pure copper. The three layers “clad” composition permits duplication in a non-silver coin, or a coin with low silver content, of the electrical properties of coins of 90-percent silver. This permits both clad coins and 90-percent silver coins, to be used interchangeably in coin operated devices. The 1965 switch to coins of lower silver content, or none, was made necessary by a growing world silver shortage. https://bit.ly/35dNHHs
