The traditional coinage metals are copper, silver, and gold, elements in Group 11 (IB) of the periodic table.
According to the eighth grade Physical Science textbook, the reason that they differ is because the coinage metals are arranged the way they are so stable and malleable and can be found as free elements in nature. These metals were used widely to make coins, giving them the title of the coinage metals. As for the iron triad, it differs because the elements are used in the process to create steel and other metal mixtures.
Yes, Copper is used in us Pennies.
Copper and Nickel is the metal alloy mainly used in coinage.
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.

Alluminum is probably the lightest of coinage metals used to-date.
The coinage elements are the metals that are used to make coins. They are the three metals from Group 11 of the periodic table - copper, silver and gold.
coinage metal
Yes, Platinum (Pt) is a coinage metal. Others include Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), and Gold (Au).
Not in chemistry: The term "coinage metal" in chemistry means copper, silver, and/or gold, and this list does not include aluminum. In law and business, "coinage metal" means any metal actually used for physical coins, and aluminum could be used but only rarely has actually been so used.

Silver and gold
Yes, Copper is used in us Pennies.
Yes, Zinc can be found on the inside of US pennies.
