Nordic gold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
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-crown coin. Its composition is 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin.

It contains no gold — this is unlikely to lead to many misleading trade descriptions since its colour and weight are quite unlike real gold.
