Why don't coins rust?
In common terminology rust is a form of iron oxide and occurs only when a ferrous metal such as iron or steel is exposed to air and moisture. The majority of coins issued around the world are instead made of metals that aren't subject to rusting; e.g. nickel, copper, aluminium, etc. Some countries, though, make coins from ferrous metals because they're less expensive than non-rusting alternatives. In these cases the steel is plated or bonded with some kind of non-ferrous metal (usually nickel or copper) to prevent direct air contact.
