Best Answer

€1 coins are bimetallic; that is, they're made in two parts, each with a different metal.

The outer ring of the coin is made of nickel-brass, an alloy composed of 75% copper, 20% zinc and 5% nickel. This alloy has a gold colour.

The inner core of the coin is made of an alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
