Its meleability or property of hammering into sheets.
doesnt rust very easily, pretty cheap, (nice colour...) stable: probably wont chemically react with much
Easy enough to work, yet hard-wearing enough to last awhile. Doesn't corrode (too much) in people's wallets.
2p coins were made of bronze from their introduction until 1992, when the rising price of copper forced the Royal Mint to start making the coins from steel with a thin copper plating.
The easy way is by the date. 1909 to 1958 (except the 1943 steel coins) are bronze. 1959 to 1981 are a copper alloy that technically is not bronze. 1982 was the transition year from a copper alloy to the zinc cents we now have. Coins of both compositions exist only for 1982 dated coins. 1983 to date are zinc.
Electric wiring, Bronze (coins) Brass (trombone)
bronze worths more because they can be used for jewelries while copper is only used for coins and wires
these are all metals that are mined. they are also used in coins, and when combined, make bronze.
It is tough, strong, wears very well and good corrosion resistance.

It would be the scientific way of saying "Wayne ROONEY"
Almost any metal is suitable for coins. But from a practical point of view, metals should be fairly hard, so that the imprint doesn't fade too quickly and it shouldn't be too light since most people like their coins to have a little 'weight', certainly if a coin represents a certain value.
Bronze
Athens had coins made of bronze, silver and gold.
The lowest denominations of current UK coins will be attracted to a magnet. In the UK, copper-plated steel was used for 1 and 2 pence coins beginning in 1992, replacing their bronze predecessors. Steel, being an alloy of iron, can be attracted to a magnet. The 5 and 10 pence coins were changed to nickel-plated steel in 2011. These coins will also display magnetic properties. In 1998, some 1 and 2 pence coins were issued in bronze (not magnetic).
