A NOTE ON SCISSEL AND CLAD COINAGE

  Last week, Dick Johnson wrote that "Scissel or skeleton
  scrap is useful at a mint because it is the exact alloy formula
  as coins being struck.  It can be melted and rerolled into new
  strips for blanking  without being reformulated (tested and
  virgin metal added to give the exact ratio of two or more
  metal elements)."

  Joe Boling counters: "Not when the coinage is clad, as is true
  in many countries besides the U.S."
