That's approximately eight million dimes, and even despite the help of vacuums, some had to be picked up by hand.

    Nope. Copper and nickel.

    “Modern dimes are made of an outer cladding of 75% copper and 25% nickel, with an inner core of pure copper. “

      Ah well that sucks. Canadian dimes are magnetic, I thought it may have been similar.
