Chrisley Knows Best stars Todd and Julie Chrisley are getting ready for a big change â kids Chase and Savannah are both going off to college this year.
Nickel silver is composed of varying amounts of copper, nickel and zinc; in all cases, there is more copper than nickel and zinc. Despite having silver in its name, nickel silver does not have any in its composition.
Consider the lowly US five cent pieceâthe ânickel.â. Unlike US dimes and quarters, which stopped being made of 90% silver after 1964, the composition of a nickel has essentially been unchanged since the end of World War II. It is still a 5 gram coin that is an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. (An aside: Some 1942 to 1945 five cent coins were made with 35% silver, because nickel was badly-needed for wartime industrial use. Those âWar Nickelsâ have long since been culled from circulation, by collectors.)
