Copper however is the most reactive of common coinage metals meaning it tones more and faster than other common coinage metals. Common is the operative word here because there are other coinage metals that are even more reactive than copper but they are not common by standard definition, metals like manganese brass, zinc, and aluminum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
