Question

Other than lowering the cost of producing coins, what could be another added benefit of changing the metals used to make coins?(hint: think of the density...why would a metal that is less dense be beneficial?)

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A coin is money made from metal stuff. Common coinage metals are copper, silver, nickel etc.

One consideration in coin production is the density of the coin. A coin of less density will have lesser mass and occupy a lesser volume. This makes it easier to carry the coin around.

Coins should therefore be made of low density metals so that they can easily be carried about.
