Coinage metals

Coinage metal is a type of metal that people use to make coins. It needs to be hard and not easily tarnish or wear down. The most common type of coinage metal is an alloy made of two or more metals, such as copper and tin. This alloy is used because it is strong and it is not too hard to make coins out of it. This way, coins can be used over and over again without wearing out too quickly. Copper and tin are usually used to make coins because they are strong and don't wear down quickly.
