Best Answer

1. Some may be in contact with water.

2. Some may be scratched.

3. Coinage metals are sometimes changed. Pre-1992 British decimal pennies were bronze but now they are copper plated steel.

4. Some may be in contact with different metals, forming a couple which can sometimes accelerate corrosion.
