Clad is fine as long as they keep it Cupro-Nickel and stay away from Zinc.
It just sucks to make coins that literally dissolve in the ground.

They produce fake counterfeit money according to the constitution and it becomes more worthless, and Americans wonder why they are broke and their money doesn't buy much haha.

Get rid of the nickel and penny entirely. Replace 1 & 5 dollar bills with 1, 2, & 5 dollar coins. It would make detecting more interesting.
