The history of U.S. dimes began with the introduction of the "Disme" (pronounced "dime") in 1792, a silver coin valued at 10 cents. It was followed by the Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated Liberty, and Barber dimes in the 19th century. In 1916, the Mercury dime debuted, featuring Liberty with a winged cap. In 1946, it was replaced by the Roosevelt dime, honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt and symbolizing the end of World War II. The clad composition replaced silver in 1965. Notable is the 1964 silver Roosevelt dime, transition year. Over time, designs and compositions evolved, creating a rich history of these 10-cent coins.
