Want this question answered?
The difference in mass between a 1990 coin and a new one is negligible for all practical purposes, unless the currency has been redesigned. (For example, in the early 1990's the UK issued new 5p and 10p coins to replace much heavier old coins.)
The newer pennies have a different proportion of metal
Newer pennies actually have less mass than older ones. U.S. cents minted before 1982 were mostly copper and weigh 3.1 grams, while newer ones are mostly zinc and weigh 2.5 grams.
I have a 1977 penny that can be picked up with a magnet and it is bright gold in color. The detail in the coin is much more detailed than that in a brand new penny. Definition is very, very high.

Many countries have changed their coin compositions over the years. The reasons can be due to metal changes, size changes, etc. Another reason is that circulation will wear down a coin, so that an older specimen actually has slightly less metal on it than when it was new.

The usual reason will be a change in the metal used. British shillings used to be made out of silver (over 90% composition), then the silver content dropped to 50%, and was lastly eliminated altogether, and then to pure cupro-nickel.
Please be more specific and post new question with the denomination of the coin.
The quarter was not the first coin for New Jersey. As a matter of fact, the first coin in the United States was the 1792 Half Dime. This coin was slightly smaller than our current dime.
It depends on what the coin is. More information is needed. Post new question.
In 1887 the U.S. mint made more than one silver coin. Post a new question with a denomination.
It's a common circulation coin worth less than 2¢
If by "new" you mean a decimal coin, the Half New Penny and Half Penny coin was in circulation from 1971 to 1983. The 25 Pence (Crown) coin was only issued in 1972, 1977, 1980 and 1981 and was intended to be a commemorative rather than a circulation coin. The Five Pound Crown replaced the niche of the 25 Pence Crown in 1990. The uni-metallic Two Pound coin was issued in 1986, 1989, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and was intended to be a commemorative rather than a circulation coin. The general circulation bimetallic Two Pound coin was first issued in 1997.
