What colour are coins made from copper alloys?
Cupronickel or copper-nickel or "cupernickel" is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese.
Are coins an element compound or mixture?

What is the chemical name for a green coating on a coin?
For copper or some copper alloys coins the coating is hydrated copper carbonate.
How are alloys used in coin making?
Alloys are frequently used to give a coin a particular color, or because a pure element may not have the right properties for coinage. In the US, layers of alloys and / or pure metals are used in what are called "sandwich" coins. These layers are chosen so that the outside of the coin has a particular appearance (silver-colored or gold-colored) but the entire coin has electromagnetic properties that can easily be distinguished in vending machines, transit fareboxes, and so on.
Is carbon dating possible in coins?
Yes, carbon dating can be used on coins that contain organic materials, such as wooden or textile components. Non-organic materials in the coins, like metals, would not provide accurate dating through carbon dating.

What alloys are found in nickel coins?
Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Are there silver alloys less with less silver content than coin silver?
Of course. And "coin silver" only refers to the US standard of 90% pure silver coins. Most other countries (especially in the British empire) used to use sterling silver. Coins have used many different alloys, for example, post WWI Canadian coins are 80% silver, silver UK coins dated 1920-1946 are 50% silver, some ancient "silver" coins are known as billion coins and they contain very little silver, and Mexico issued a 1 peso coin in the late 1950s and 60s that was only 10% silver!
What is the mexican peso made of?
Depending on individual coins, they are made of alloys of copper, zinc, nickel and aluminium.
In which place the coins are made?
