There's a business which mints coins from interesting metallic elements.

A little reactive perhaps for a circulation coin:

Yep, seen it.

The last time we heard from long-time member and occasional poster Heather the Hoarder, she'd acquired an interest in collecting by element, and had posted a link to this site, in this old thread.

I'm never finding things easily with that search function, so thanks for pointing that out.

I like the advisory page for their new gallium coins. Pure gallium's melting point is 30°C (86°F) so a gallium coin will melt on a warm day, under bright lights, or in your hand.

I wonder if they'll ever try to strike mercury coins. Mercury (also known as quicksilver) melts at -39°C (-38°F), and a coin made of mercury would still melt in your freezer. You'd need to store them in dry ice or liquid nitrogen to keep them solid.
