The new Presidential dollar, like the Sacagawea dollar, are clad coins, sharing a three-layer composite construction, with a pure copper core sandwiched between and metallurgically bonded to the outer layers of alloy material. The overall composition of the new dollar is 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5 % manganese and 2% nickel. Metal value for this 'golden' dollar is about 5 cents.
