Why are coins different colors?
Today different colors are used to make it easier to identify coins that are similar in size but with different denominations. That practice is inherited from a time when coins had to be made of metal that was worth roughly the same as its denomination. For example, a US dollar contained about $1 worth of silver, a British pound contained about £1 worth of silver, etc. Copper was used for low-denomination coins because it's inexpensive, silver was used for intermediate-denomination coins, and gold was used for high-denomination coins. Today many countries imitate that pattern by using copper or copper-plating for low-value coins, silver-colored alloys for middle denominations, and gold-colored alloys for high-value coins.
