Almost any metal is suitable for coins. But from a practical point of view, metals should be fairly hard, so that the imprint doesn't fade too quickly and it shouldn't be too light since most people like their coins to have a little 'weight', certainly if a coin represents a certain value.
Two important properties of coinage metals are hard and unreactive. Some examples of metals that are used in coinage are copper, silver and gold.
i only know one...
metals are suitable for use in coins because of its high melting point. :)
Good luck!
The three properties that make metals suitable for coins are non-corrosion, malleability and high melting point. The three most common metals used in coinage are copper, gold and silver.
They are malleable, they have high luster and a high melting point.
non reactive
alkaline earth metals
Alkali metals are group 1 metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium. Coinage metals are metals used in coin age to make coins. They are copper, gold and silver.
Metals are bendy (can be drawn is all sorts of shapes without breaking); can be hammered in all sorts of shapes without breaking, and conduct electricity (electric wiring) and heat (pots and pans in the kitchen).
It compresses well and it's moreeconomicalthan otherchemicals.
Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids which are elements that have some of the same properties as metals but not all properties to make them a metal
The most important property of the metals that are suitable for jewellery is that they do not oxidize easily. These metals are at the bottom of the activity series, and they are copper, silver, mercury, platinum, gold.
Ductility is the property of metals that enables them to be drawn into wires......
good conductor
Gold is a beautiful metal, and is of greater value over many other metals. (Jewelry . . . ) Gold does not tarnish nor corrode under normal circumstances. (Jewelry, electronics . . . )
Metalloids and non-metals make it useful for electrical-------------------------------------------------------------------------Metals are used in wiring to transfer the electrical energy around your home and non-metalic materials i.e plastics are used as insulators.
Copper, as with most metals, has a very high thermal conductivity due to free electrons in the metallic bond structure, and also is very malleable due to the bond type. Metals also have high melting points, which makes them suitable for use in pans.
The answer depends on what its "job" is.
non reactive
All are metals and used to make coins.
Plastic is a property of metal for electricians
It is light and strong
