Almost any metal is suitable for coins. But from a practical point of view, metals should be fairly hard, so that the imprint doesn't fade too quickly and it shouldn't be too light since most people like their coins to have a little 'weight', certainly if a coin represents a certain value.

metals are suitable for use in coins because of its high melting point. :)
Good luck!

Which properties of metals do you utilize to make a copper bottomed frying pan?
Copper, as with most metals, has a very high thermal conductivity due to free electrons in the metallic bond structure, and also is very malleable due to the bond type. Metals also have high melting points, which makes them suitable for use in pans.
