Canada has issued dimes since 1858
The dime couldn't have been printed as a penny. Different productions and not connected during the minting process. Sounds like your coin is a damaged one.
Ten cents. It's made of nickel, not silver.
Up till the 1990s Canadian dimes were made of pure nickel. Since then they've been made of steel because the price of nickel went up.
A Canadian Dime is measured to be 1.6 cm exactly.
Please don't assume that every older coin must be made of silver. Canadian 5¢ coins haven't contained any silver since 1921. Since that time they've mostly been made of nickel or plated steel; during WWII they were made of brass.
10 cents.
