What are former Scandinavian coins of low denomination called?
Skilling
Why are coins different colors?
Today different colors are used to make it easier to identify coins that are similar in size but with different denominations. That practice is inherited from a time when coins had to be made of metal that was worth roughly the same as its denomination. For example, a US dollar contained about $1 worth of silver, a British pound contained about £1 worth of silver, etc. Copper was used for low-denomination coins because it's inexpensive, silver was used for intermediate-denomination coins, and gold was used for high-denomination coins. Today many countries imitate that pattern by using copper or copper-plating for low-value coins, silver-colored alloys for middle denominations, and gold-colored alloys for high-value coins.

Copper, Silver and Gold are the traditional "coinage metals". However many modern coins around the world contain nickel because it's relatively inexpensive and very resistant to wear.

What do you call coins of small denominations?
Small denomination coins often receive nicknames by those who use them, however the terms vary depending on the currency and location where they are used. In the United Kingdom for example one and two pence coins are often referred to as "coppers" because of their color, the coins have also historically contained copper alloy. In recent years large amounts of low denomination coins have also been refered to as "shrapnel", especially among the younger generations. The UK government has considered removing one and two pence denominations from use, similar to a few other European countries, but has decided to keep them for the foreseeable future.

Why were the Australian 1 and 2 Dollar notes replaced with 1 and 2 Dollar coins?
As with many other currencies around the world, once the expected lifespan of the lower denomination banknotes decreases due to increased handling, they are replaced with coins, which are much more durable and longer lasting. Paper notes start to deteriorate very quickly when subjected to heat, moisture, folding, crumpling, stapling, etc. The Reserve Bank of Australia advises that polymer notes last about four times longer than paper notes, but coins last much longer again, especially for lower denominations. It is a matter of economics. The Royal Australian Mint advises that it expects to get 40 to 50 years of use out of a coin.
