Yes. metal picks are stronger than plastic ones and make a different sound. Brian May of Queen is known to have used an old British sixpence coin as a pick on his guitar. For a bass, one needs a strong pick anyway!

Yes, you can. Some music stores even sell picks made of metal, or multi tip picks that have a metal tip on one side. And Billy Gibbons of ZZTop has been known to use a "peso" coin as a pick on some songs. If you know what you're doing, they're good for creating "controlled feedback"
