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.

∙ 12y agoUsually Aluminum is the lightest metal used for circulating currency. In the US, the lightest metal though is zinc for post-1982 pennies (except for a few trial cents made from aluminum which were melted down), however a lot of countries use aluminum (or have in the past) for circulating coinage such as the Japanese 1 yen coin.

What are the coinage meatls?
The traditional coinage metals are copper, silver, and gold, elements in Group 11 (IB) of the periodic table.
Where are the metal located in the periodic tabel?
Metal is located throughout the periodic table. The periodic table is based on atomic weight. Metals range from some of the lightest to the heaviest of elements.
Which section of the periodic table has the most reactive metals?
Period 6 has the most metals out of all periods on the periodic table.
What is silvers family name or rare earth element series?
Silvers family name is either the copper group (copper is the lightest memeber of group 11 in the perioic table) or the coinage metals, copper silver and gold were long used to make coins. The rare earths are scandium yttrium and the lanthanides, 17 in all.
What letters represent gold on the elements table?
The Gold (AU) periodic table placement is located in period 6 (horizontal row) and family 11 (vertical column), along with other coinage metals like Silver and Copper. These metals are great for circulation because they have excellent wear resistance. Shared properties with the Gold element include being inert, corrosion-resistant metals with low electrical resistivity.
