This may sound dumb but what is clad? I just bought a used Whites 3900/d coin master. If things keep going good I may just buy a new whites.

Definition: A clad coin is one that has multiple layers of metal in it; most current U.S. clad coins consist of an inner core of copper, with outer layers of a silver-colored nickel-copper alloy. Examples of this type of clad coin are the U.S. Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar.

The golden dollar coins, including the Sacagawea Dollar and the Presidential Dollars, are also clad. They have a copper core with clad layers made from a zinc, manganese, and nickel combination.
Examples: On most U.S. clad coins, if you look at the edge of the coin, you can see the copper core sandwiched between the outer layers of metal.

Rumor is that the most clads are found in Boobies hunting pouch.
