A "copy" coin (that is, a fake coin made to look like a real coin, and generally labeled - in the United States, anyway - with the word "copy") could be composed of almost any metal. While certain high quality struck duplicates are composed of the same metal as the original (copper, silver, etc.), most others (especially those produced by pouring molten metal into a mold) are produced from lead or other base metals, or even occassionally from plastic.
Different coins are made of different metals and some coins are laminated layers of different metals. Some of the metals that have been used are:coppersilvergoldnickelbrassbronzezinc (used as core of modern US pennies)etc.
British decimal 1 and 2 Pence coins have never contained nickel. From their introduction in 1971, the 1 and 2 Pence coins were made from bronze, consisting of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin. From 1992 onwards, they have been made from copper plated steel. A 25% nickel content is used in the British 5, 10, 20 and 50 Pence coins and gives the coins their silvery appearance. The Five Pound coin and the centre of the Two Pound coin also contains 25% nickel. The One Pound coin has a 5.5% nickel content.
To find out how much £100 in two-pound coins weighs, we can break it down: **Value of coins**: £100 in two-pound coins means you have 50 two-pound coins (because 100 ÷ 2 = 50). **Weight of a two-pound coin**: A two-pound coin weighs about 12 grams. Now, multiply the number of coins by the weight of each coin: [ 50 \text{ coins} \times 12 \text{ grams/coin} = 600 \text{ grams} ] So, £100 in two-pound coins weighs approximately 600 grams, or about 1.32 pounds.
Since the value of gold is by weight 1 lb of gold is worth more than 1/2 lb of gold by definition. The fact that there are more coins is irrelevant.
A Two Pence coin weighs 7.12 grams. There are 50 Two Pence coins in a Pound. One Pound worth of Two Pence coins weighs 356 grams.
