Coinage

The good electrical conductivities of copper and its alloys mean that coins are easily identified in vending and cash machines. The alloys have other useful properties such as – tarnish and wear-resistant, easy to mint new coins, easy to recycle, and antimicrobial. Copper Nickel Alloys’ superior malleability allows clear images and distinct edging on all the coins. The latter is especially important for the visually impaired. Each coin denomination has a separate edge design to facilitate recognition.
