The 1943 Eleanor Roosevelt dime was a United States ten-cent coin that was struck in steel due to wartime shortages.

The Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints each produced these 1943 Eleanor Roosevekt dimes.

The unique composition of the coin (low-grade steel coated with zinc) has led to various nicknames, such as wartime dime, steel war dime, and Steelie El.
