           THANKS FOR SHOWING THE COIN---WHAT ARE THE METALS USED TO MAKE THE COIN? I READ WHERE MORE AND MORE COUNTRIES ARE TRYING OUT THESE TYPES OF COINS---ARE THESE THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE?

Thank you Sir Nighthawk.

Sir Templar:  The metal in the centre is copper nicker and the ring around is of brass.    Several countries are issuing bimetal coins.
In India, Rs.10 coin was issued in 2005.
I have
2006, 07 coins are for trade.
Sir Humpybong:  Thank you.    I tried is South Africa itself and failed.   A friend in U.S.A., bought them, for me.

I like the bi-metallic coins but have not grabbed many in the last few years. My favorite of ALL time was struck in Australia and is not bi-metallic! It is tri-metallic and an absolutely stunning coin. It is very large and struck with a GOLD center, SILVER middle and a COPPER ring adores the outer edge. Oh how I love that commemorative!
