    what its made of? give me %'s if you can. i like copper and bronze coins and i like the size of this one in particular. i only have one and i might want to get more in the future.

    i found it, pre 92 2 pence are 97% copper.

    It's plated steel if I'm not wrong. There isn't much copper on them.
