@TheRealists 2:50 Did you know the Netherlands had 720 silver coins too. I have 2 1/2 Gulden and 1 Gulden ex: 1960 in 720 silver (i live in Switzerland and mostly swiss junk silver is in 835 silver).
5:48 To compare: Switzerland had 835 silvercoins till 1967 (5 swiss francs coin 1969 in silver but not 1968 or 1970 and younger). Austria had the 640 silver 10 Schilling coin till 1973 and Germany the 625 silver 5 Mark coin till 1974.
7:31It's not zinc it's copper. The modern dime is a copper-nickel coin. The modern swiss coins are mostly in copper-nickel too. Instead of modern american circulation coins swiss modern coins do not have copper edges on the coins.

I can never remember the exact composition either copper, nickel, or zinc of each coin.
It’s copper nickel clad. So the “silver“ color on the outside in nickel. Zinc is in the middle of the newer one cent Thanks for the content brother.
