If a hammer strikes a nail, the movement energy will be converted into heat energy. Or most of it, at any rate.
joule

The kinetic energy transfers from the hammer to the nail. The molecules inside the nail move rapidly and create heat.
when you raise the hammer at the top of your upswing the hammer has potential energy when you lower the hammer to hit a nail , the hammer has potential energy.
The momentum and energy is transferred to the nail.

An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. When the energy from the hammer hits the nail the hammer stops because its acted on by the nail. The nail takes on most of the energy and goes into whatever you might be nailing, like wood. The nail stops and the wood takes the energy and it just keeps going until the energy stops.

when you raise the hammer at the top of your upswing the hammer has potential energy when you lower the hammer to hit a nail , the hammer has potential energy.

A hammer when swung in a downward motion contains energy. When the hammer strikes an object the energy is transfered to the object i.e a nail, causing the nail to move in a downward motion. One might ask the question how does a screwdriver work. The turning motion of the screwdriver upon a screw causes the screw to pull itself into, say, a piece of wood. Like the hammer energy is the important factor. Velocity and weight of the head

The hammer will have potential energy. It is because of the height.
A coin will get warmer when struck by a hammer just like a nail will. The energy of the hammer blow is converted into heat. The atoms and molecules in the coin will be compressed a great deal by the hammer blow, and this will break metallic crystal bonds in the metal matrix. This creates heat. The energy of the hammer blow must be conserved, and heat is a large part of the equation.
