Starting 1998 copper-plated steel
so they are magnetic
50 2p coins go into £1.00
To make 50p using 1p, 2p, 5p, and 10p coins, you can combine various quantities of these coins. For example, you could use 50 1p coins, 25 2p coins, or 10 5p coins. Additionally, you can mix different denominations, such as 4 10p coins (40p) and 5 2p coins (10p), or any other combination that totals 50p. The total number of combinations can vary significantly based on how many of each coin you choose to use.
The 1p (one pence) and 2p (two pence) coins in the UK were initially made from bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin. However, since 1992, the 1p and 2p coins have been produced using copper-plated steel, which is more cost-effective and helps reduce production costs. The change aimed to improve durability and reduce the overall weight of the coins.
To make £2 using 2p coins, you would need 100 coins. This is because £2 is equivalent to 200 pence, and dividing 200 pence by 2 pence gives you 100.
There are 50 two-pence (2p) coins in one pound (£1). This is because one pound is equal to 100 pence, and when you divide 100 pence by 2 pence, you get 50.

because old 2p coins are made out of bronze. Bronze is made out of tin and copper, these metals aren't magnetic. However, new 2p coins just look like they are made out of copper, however they only have a coating of copper on them, but the inside is steel, this is called copper plated steel. They are magnetic because steel is magnetic and makes up the majority of the coin.
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 'copper' (1p & 2p coins) are made from 97% copper - and 3& trace elements. The 'silver' coins are made from nickel-plated sheet steel.
20p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 1p.
Copper-plated steel has been used since 1993.
1p and 2p decimal coins never contained nickel. They were made of bronze until September 1992 when the composition was changed to copper-plated steel. Some 2p coins were struck in bronze during 1998 as well.
To make 10 pence using coins, there are several possible combinations. You could use one 10p coin, two 5p coins, a 5p coin and five 1p coins, or ten 1p coins. These are the four distinct ways to make 10 pence with coins.
50p + 20p + 10p + 5p + 2p +2p = 6 coins

To make 10p using 1p, 2p, and 5p coins, we can use a combination of these coins. We can start by using one 5p coin and five 1p coins, which is one way. Next, we can use two 2p coins and six 1p coins, which is another way. Lastly, we can use ten 1p coins, which is a third way. Therefore, there are three ways to make 10p using 1p, 2p, and 5p coins.
