Alluminum is probably the lightest of coinage metals used to-date.
In the U.S., zinc is the lightest metal currently used. Cents are 97.5% zinc with only a small amount of copper plating. However worldwide, aluminum is the lightest metal used for coinage.
The lightest 'non-metal' could be Hydrogen and Helium! Both are gases, and therefore, not a metal.
The lightest metal is lithium.
Lithium is the lightest transition metal.

The lightest alkaline earth metal is Beryllium(Be) having atomic mass 9.012 dalton. The heaviest element in this family is radium.
The lightest known metal in the world is lithium. It is an alkali metal with a low atomic mass and density, making it extremely light compared to other metals.
Cobalt.
Helium
The lightest metal element is lithium, with an atomic number of 3 and an atomic weight of around 6.94. It is also the lightest metal that is a solid at room temperature and is commonly used in batteries and other electronic devices.
Lithium is the lightest element metal with a relative atomic mass of 7 (3 protons, 4 neutrons).
Lithium is a soft white alkali metal that is the lightest metal under standard conditions. It is also the least dense solid element.
