I'm curious about the composition of Canadian coins. Specifically, I want to know if they contain steel cores like some other countries' coins do. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Canadian coins with denominations less than a loonie, which is equivalent to Canadian $1, incorporate steel cores as a fundamental aspect of their composition.

Prior to the turn of the century, there was a significant change in the materials used for minting Canadian coins. Specifically, dimes minted between 1968 and 1999 were constructed entirely of nickel.

To add color and distinguish different denominations, these steel-based coins are plated with various metals. Nickel, zinc, or copper platings are used, each contributing to the visual identity of the coins.

This nickel composition was prevalent during that specific timeframe and characterized the physical attributes of dimes during those years.

However, in the year 2000, a transition occurred in the minting process of Canadian coins. All coins, regardless of denomination, began incorporating steel as the primary or intrinsic metal.
