Coinage_metals

Coins are made from one or more coinage metals.

Many coinage metals are from Group 11 of the Periodic table, however there are some exceptions. Precious metals are used in bullion coins and some collectable coins. Coins not intended for circulation or for intrinsic value, have also been made experimentally using an even larger variety of metals, in technical and artistic experiments.
