Best Answer

If you're referring to the coins, no. 1, 2, and 5 cent pieces are made of copper-plated steel. 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are made of a brass alloy. €1 and €2 coins are bi=metallic, combining rings of brass and copper-nickel.

No. Precious metals like gold and silver haven't been used in circulating coinage for decades. Euro coins contain base metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, aluminum, tin, and steel.

Yes, no, maybe. It depends on the date and denomination. Anything from the 1970s on that came from circulation would not be silver. Otherwise you need to know the date and denomination. Of course since 2002 Italy has used euro coins and none of them are silver.

What is the silver content of Dutch coins?

The use of silver in Dutch coins was gradually phased out over the first half of the 20th century. From 1938 until the end of silver coinage, they were struck in 72% (720 fine) silver alloyed with 28% copper. The government of the Netherlands demonetised silver coins in 1973. Current euro-denominated coins of course don't contain any silver either.
