My wife handed me a tin of coins yesterday. In the tin were several of these Nordic Gold Euro coins. I'm probably the last person in line but I had never seen any of these Nordic Gold coins. Apparently the composition is considered Aluminum Bronze with bronze itself an alloy of course. I guess they also have hypoallergenic properties as well. I thought they were interesting. Here's an Italian 50 Cent example

Thank you all! Excellent acquisition, lahave! I suppose that "Nordic Gold" sounds more upscale than "Aluminum Bronze".
