Would a double stamped quarter with one side dated 1996 and the other 1981 be a fake?

Yes. Once coins are struck, the dies are not used again, and struck coins are never run back through subsequent years. The only place a 1996 and 1981 quarter would come into contact would be a cash register or your pocket. Never at the mint.
Additionally, dates appear on only one side of US Coins.
The surest way to tell if an American coin is counterfit is to drop it on a solid surface. You'll note a difference in the tone it makes compared ot real coins. All real coins sound similar.

Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?
No, clad is used in the coin collecting community talking about the Copper and Nickel "sandwich" current, non-silver, coins have. So a clad quarter by definition would not have any silver because a clad quarter is a quarter with no silver. However, quarters were made of silver before 1965 so any quarter dated 1964 and earlier contains 90% silver, but those coins would not be considered "clad".

If you have a silver quarter not sandwiched with copper dated 1965 would that be a misprint?
Yes, in 1965 some coins were made like that, in error, of course. A blank planchet from 1964 was stamped in 1965, resulting in a silver 1965. It's also possible that the coin was plated. Get a good scale; a silver quarter weighs about 6.25 gm while a plated copper-nickel quarter would weigh about 5.7 gm. FWIW, it wouldn't be a "misprint" though, it would be a "mis-strike". Bills are printed, coins are struck or minted.
