Back in the distant past, most coins were made from either gold, silver or copper.
During the 20th Century, due to large increases in the prices of most metals, there was a trend away from traditional metals towards alloys like copper and nickel (cupro/nickel), or copper, zinc and tin or nickel (bronze).
More recently, there has been a trend towards cheaper metals again like steel and alloys which include aluminum and smaller quantities of nickel and copper.
Many steel coins are plated with nickel or copper to make them a little more attractive.
