No, because metals are malleable, they bend, not break. If an element breaks when it is struck by a hammer, it is not a metal.

How do you tell if an element is a metal with a hammer?

Why does a coin become warmer when it is struck by a hammer?

A coin will get warmer when struck by a hammer just like a nail will. The energy of the hammer blow is converted into heat. The atoms and molecules in the coin will be compressed a great deal by the hammer blow, and this will break metallic crystal bonds in the metal matrix. This creates heat. The energy of the hammer blow must be conserved, and heat is a large part of the equation.

Why is it called a deadblow mallet?

When the surface is struck the initial hit is just the rubber face and the plastic or metal housing of the mallet, the significant force if from the weight inside moving from the back of the hammer to the striking face after it is struck. So the significant blow comes when the hammer is not moving or dead. This helps keep the surface that is being struck from being damaged.
