Silver became too expensive to make coins from, for many countries, during the 20th Century. Low denomination coins are traditionally made from copper, but copper has also become too expensive and many of the coins that were made from copper have either been dropped from their respective currencies as useless due to inflation or, have been made from a cheaper metal such as steel or aluminium.
Not a meaningful question. Gold coins were made from gold and copper without any silver in them. Silver coins were made from silver and copper without any gold.
Magnesium is a highly reactive metal compared to gold, silver and copper. It will form a magnesium oxide as an outer-shell when it comes to contact with oxygen in the air, and it reacts with water, creating hydrogen gas and fizzing.

U.S. coins were copper, silver and gold in the 1800's.
Roman coins came in gold, silver and copper. In the earlier days there were also coins in bronze and brass.
Because the British empire in 1805 had a shortage of bullion (gold and silver), copper coins were still produced on a contract-basis at the Soho Mint and the price of copper had risen, making it impractical for them to issue copper coins. This eventually lead to the adoption of the gold standard (rather than the dual gold and silver standard) in 1816 and a complete recoinage of the nation's gold and silver (and later copper) coins.
