Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 01/16/2023 06:38 am The coins are made of cupronickel alloy, the same as modern Australian coins. They "should" be pretty much the same colour as any other cupronickel coin of similar vintage. They would not have been deliberately browned by the Mint. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
