they added small amounts of zinc and tin to the copper
Coins are compound made of 90% copper and 10% tin.
The outside is an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel, with pure copper in the center. Including the core, the coins are about 91.7% copper and 8.3% nickel.
It means that matter i.e. certain compounds or substances bundles above that particular substance. Like for example you can say deposition of matter on your coins. Here the deposition of the green substances on the copper coins is what is matter. That green substance is due to the formation of copper sulphate. Coins are made of copper (certain). Due to atmospheric sulfur dioxide the copper gets oxidized. Thus copper sulphate accumulates on the surface of the coins and leads to its deposition.
Bronze is the mixture of tin and copper. Bronze is an alloy that is much harder than copper. Many things were made out of bronze in a time period known as the Bronze Age.
Copper is a pure element, (Cu) not a mixture or compound.Copper is an element. So, it is only made up of one mineral: copperYou can make a vacuum cleaner. Coins, telephones, coins, cell phones, and washing machines
a coins texture is different because it is much harder and mostly made out of copper and metal.
British 1 and 2 Pence coins were made from bronze until 1991. From 1992 onwards, they were made from copper plated steel. Steel being an alloy of iron, the new coins are naturally attracted to magnets.

ALL coins are "minted" coins because they're made at a mint.They are never pure silver or gold. US silver coins used to be 90% silver with some 10% copper added to make them harder so they wouldn't wear out as quickly.Now coins like quarters or dimes are clad. That means they are like a sandwich. They have a layer of copper and nickel on the top and bottom, and copper in the middle. If you look at the side of a quarter, you can see the copper.
The 'copper' (1p & 2p coins) are made from 97% copper - and 3& trace elements. The 'silver' coins are made from nickel-plated sheet steel.
No, copper coins are not typically made of pure copper. Most modern day coins are alloyed with other metals to improve durability and prevent wear and tear. The percentage of copper in coins varies by country and denomination.
not all coins just the penny
Old coins were made from copper.
