Yes, gold and silver are at the bottom of the reactivity chart and therefore less likely to rust when in contact with water. Iron on the other hand, is at the top of the reactivity chart and will react to water in a way so that it would rust. This is why we do not use iron, which is cheap and durable, to make coins almost anytime in history.
