The coinage metals comprise those metallic chemical elements and alloys which have been used to mint coins. Historically, most coinage metals are from the three nonradioactive members of group 11 of the periodic table: copper, silver and gold. Copper is usually augmented with tin or other metals to form bronze.
The alloying with other metals makes the resulting coins harder, less likely to become deformed and more resistant to wear. Gold coins: Gold coins are typically produced as either 90% gold (e.g. with pre-1933 US coins), or 22 carat (91.66%) gold (e.g. current collectible coins and Krugerrands ), with copper and silver making up the remaining ...
The development of metal carbonyl clusters such as Ni(CO) 4 and Fe(CO) 5 led quickly to the isolation of Fe 2 (CO) 9 and Fe 3 (CO) 12.Rundle and Dahl discovered that Mn 2 (CO) 10 featured an "unsupported" Mn-Mn bond, thereby verifying the ability of metals to bond to one another in molecules.

A coin die itself, has been the main motive for many collectors coins and medals. One of the most recent and famous one, is the Austrian 700 Years City of Hall in Tyrol coin, minted on January 29, 2003. The reverse side of the coin shows the Guldiner silver coin. However, the design is negative, representing a coin die, as a reference to Hall's ...
The coinage metals form stable dicyanometallates, [Cu(CN) 2] −, [Ag(CN) 2] −, and [Au(CN) 2] −. For heavier metals, other stoichiometries are known such as K 4 Mo(CN) 8 and Potassium heptacyanorhenate. Some cyanometallates are clusters featuring metal-metal bonds, such as [Mo 2 (CN) 8] 4−.
As with the other coinage metals, the vast majority of the reported Au NHC complexes have a linear coordination geometry, although a higher coordination number of 4 has been observed for Au III. [1] Multinuclear complexes are also accessible, and have been synthesized to study Au-Au interactions during supramolecular aggregation. [ 9 ]
Potin is a base metal alloy used in coins. It is typically a mixture of copper, tin and lead (in varying proportions) and does not typically contain significant precious metals. Potin is usually used in reference to Celtic coinage. [1] [2]
