Percentage of silver. You can take the weight of the coin and calculate the silver content.

80% only refers to Canadian coins, there are no 80% US coins to my knowledge

40% halves are actually 80% silver, 20% copper on the outside and 21% silver, 79% copper on the inside. This is interesting because the outside of the coin is the part that wears down due to circulation (or grinding), so really the coins would be better if the silver was on the inside and copper was on the outside, so the valuable silver is protected.

40% are clad, so all you clad haters better deposit them into circulation, preferably in MD.
