Why is it important that coins are made of an alloy?

It is mostly a matter of economics. The old traditional metals used to make coins such as gold, silver and copper, were very expensive, relatively soft and not very durable with continuous use and handling. These days, the coinage of most countries is made from the cheapest and most durable materials, which usually means an alloy of some description. Copper-zinc or copper-aluminium is a popular alloy for many gold coloured coins. Copper-nickel is a popular alloy for many silver coloured coins. Steel electro-plated with another metal is popular for small denomination coins. Most, if not all coins in circulation today, are a "token" coinage, that is, the coin has a value inscribed on it, the value is not based on the metal it is made from.
