Back in the old days, most coins were made from either gold, silver or copper. During the 20th century, governments moved away from precious metals to mint coins due to the expense, and most coins were made from various combinations of copper, nickel, tin, aluminium, zinc and others. In the 21st century, a cheaper alternative became plated steel (iron).
