October 12, 201015 yr What am I missing? Your missing the fact it is Nordic Gold Should also be called fools gold as it contains none. (edit: not calling you a fool...They have a thing called fools gold or Pyrite ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_gold Nordic gold is the alloy from which the middle three denominations of euro coins, 50 cent, 20 cent, and 10 cent coins are made. It has also been in use for a number of years in other countries, most notably in the Swedish 10-krona coin (hence the Swedish name: nordiskt guld).[1] Its composition is 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin.It contains no gold and its colour and weight are quite unlike pure gold. It is considered as a brass alloy because of its high copper and zinc components. Its advantages include antimicrobial action, non-allergenic, and its resistance to tarnishing. The alloy and its tradename are the intellectual property of the global metals and manufacturing group, Luvata. Edited October 12, 201015 yr by flying
