Metal content of coin My mom gave me a coin yesterday, and I'm not too much into coins for numismatic purposes just mainly metal content. So I was wondering if anyone could help me with the metal content of a coin she gave me. It's a Kenyan Daniel Arap Moi 10 cent coin. Looks like the image but much shinier. http://www.allthingskenyan.com/moi10.jpg Any info would be good... if I try and do a search for Kenyan coin or anything similar, it just comes up with a bunch of stuff about their economy and storing corn. Appreciate it
