It is so easy to test. you have to buy a "UJALA" then take a glass of water and put the coin in it and then again put three drops of ujala.If the coins consume ujala less than 30 minutes and the water turn into white you are sure that the coin has iridium. After two days you have to do niddle test.Put the niddle near the coin and if the coin attract it towards it you are 100% sure that coin contains iridium not repeat test again and again because it might loss its power.
Pure copper has not been used to make British coins for about 150 years. From 1860, British "copper" coins were made from bronze which consisted mostly of copper varying from 95 to 97% copper. From 1992, British "copper" coins were made from copper plated steel. Ironically, copper is used to make modern "silver" coins (cupro-nickel) consisting usually of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Up until recently, copper coins contained very small quantities of tin, zinc or even aluminium, and were perhaps more accurately referred to as bronze coins. Currently, due to the increasing cost of copper, there is a trend away from minting copper coins, and many, what were previously copper coins, are now being made from copper plated steel.
because the old copper coins are made of pure copper but they had to make them out of different matierials because the copper the coin was made of was worth more than the coin itself, therefore people were melting down copper coins and selling the copper. the new coins are now made of a small percent of copper and more iron.
Coins are made of copper because copper is a highly durable and malleable metal that is readily available. Its resistance to corrosion also makes it ideal for minting coins that are meant to be in circulation for a long time. Additionally, copper is a cost-effective material for producing coins.
Iridium copper is used primarily in electrical applications due to its high conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in switches, relays, and connectors within the electronics industry. Its high melting point and durability make it suitable for applications where extreme conditions are present.
Iridium can form alloys with copper.

Iridium is obtained as a by-product in the nickel or copper production.
Copper iridium is a binary alloy composed of copper and iridium. It is known for its high hardness, good wear resistance, and high temperature stability, making it useful for applications such as electrical contacts, spark-resistant tools, and high-performance bearings.
Iridium is a valuable metal and is rarer than gold or platinum. A search of the internet using "iridium coins" should reveal dozens of sites claiming to have the genuine article.
Hi, If you're specific to the property suggested above, yes this property does exist with the CU Iridium coins. Although these are not limited to these flimsy coins. It could be for any other copper artifacts. Personally, I've held one and seen its property. However, I'm not sure of the cost, or end usage of this property. So Good Luck if you're looking for one.

If you refer to the scrap value of the copper, there is no copper in British "copper" coins these days.
It cannot without radioactive decay, and it is impractical to imagine copper (element 29) undergoing enough positron emissions to become iridium (element 77). There is no chemistry which can possibly turn copper into iridium, and no known physics either.
if happens , who will tell
