Silverless coins go into circulation across the nation

Americans receive the first of their new silverless coins as 230 million copper nickel quarters roll out amid a broader plan to replace silver coins. Dimes will follow early next year and 50 cent pieces later in 1966. Pennies and nickels stay unchanged, as does the silver dollar though no more cartwheels for five years. The mint aims to phase the old coins out as new ones meet demand, with over 13 billion silver coins still circulating. Don Schollander, 1964 Sullivan Award winner, is noted as the sport honor’s second recipient and first male swimmer since 1930.
