Starting 1998 copper-plated steel
so they are magnetic
There are 50 2p coins in 1.00.
The answer is :-8 £1coins, 8 20p coins, 8 10p coins, 8 2p coins
17p = 2p + 5p + 10p
40 ways.
29 Ways: 20(1p) 18(1p),1(2p) 16(1p),2(2p) 14(1p),3(2p) 12(1p),4(2p) 10(1p),5(2p) 8(1p),6(2p) 6(1p),7(2p) 4(1p),8(2p) 2(1p),9(2p) 10(2p) 4(5p) 3(5p),2(2p),1(1p) 3(5p),1(2p),3(1p) 3(5p),5(1p) 2(5p),5(2p) 2(5p),4(2p),2(1p) 2(5p),3(2p),4(1p) 2(5p),2(2p),6(1p) 2(5p),1(2p),8(1p) 2(5p),10(1p) 1(5p),7(2p),1(1p) 1(5p),6(2p),3(1p) 1(5p),5(2p),5(1p) 1(5p),4(2p),7(1p) 1(5p),3(2p),9(1p) 1(5p),2(2p),11(1p) 1(5p),1(2p),13(1p) 1(5p),15(1p)

2p coins were made of bronze from their introduction until 1992, when the rising price of copper forced the Royal Mint to start making the coins from steel with a thin copper plating.
20p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 1p.
The 'copper' (1p & 2p coins) are made from 97% copper - and 3& trace elements. The 'silver' coins are made from nickel-plated sheet steel.
1p and 2p decimal coins never contained nickel. They were made of bronze until September 1992 when the composition was changed to copper-plated steel. Some 2p coins were struck in bronze during 1998 as well.
because old 2p coins are made out of bronze. Bronze is made out of tin and copper, these metals aren't magnetic. However, new 2p coins just look like they are made out of copper, however they only have a coating of copper on them, but the inside is steel, this is called copper plated steel. They are magnetic because steel is magnetic and makes up the majority of the coin.
50p + 20p + 10p + 5p + 2p +2p = 6 coins
Copper-plated steel has been used since 1993.

they added small amounts of zinc and tin to the copper
