Most general circulation coins are made of alloys - combinations of brass, zinc, copper, nickel etc.
Collector coins are still made of gold and silver. .999 silver and for some recent gold coins .9999
Up till 1964 U.S. dimes, quarters, halves, and (earlier) dollars were normally made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Other countries have used different alloys with silver contents ranging from 95% down to less than 50%.
Modern dimes, quarters, and halves do not contain any silver at all. They have outer layers composed of 75% copper / 25% nickel, which gives them a somewhat silvery appearance but in reality is darker and less reflective than the silver alloy it replaced.
Dollars are of course made of brass to give them a distinctive golden appearance.
Metals can bond with other metals easier than nonmetals and metalloids can. Since metals can be quite expensive, this is good, because you can make a coin using less metal and a nonmetal or metalloid while being able to retain the durability of the coin.
For modern U.S. coinage, the metals used are copper, nickel, and/or zinc. Sacagawea/Presidential dollar coins also have a bit of manganese.
- to be not reactive
- to be not toxic
The alloy of a coin must be nontoxic and resistant to corrosion and errosion.

Physical and chemical properties of LPG
the chemical properties of bronze are pig and feet
chemical properties
Color and density are physical properties. Odor and solubility are chemical properties.
phisical properties and chemical properties
- ability to resist to corrosion and errosion- low toxicity- low cost
Because it has the required chemical properties to function in a battery.
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.
it changes chemical properties
Chemical properties are determined by experiments.

If it's a chemical, it has chemical properties. An oreo churro (whatever unholy abomination that might be) is a mixture of chemicals, each of which will have their own chemical properties.
