Steel I think, certainly magnetic.
mmm that reminds me - anyone know of a reasonable uptodate scrap metal pricing website ?

Steel core but more than just plating, which I tend to few as, at most, a layer a few thou thick.
Yes - I know they're magnetic. But they seem lighter than steel.

Thanks - it was only present day ones I'm interested in.
Good name for this answer.
Dave,
Looking at the site again, I believe that the metal content is the present day one (I missed a bit in the copy and paste) as the latest coin face design is 2008.
If that's is still not what you want, why not drop the Mint an e-mail and ask them?

When will the first batch be ready?
