brass coins
Copper-alloy money pieces
Brass coins are coins made from brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.
Historically, brass was used for lower-denomination currency because it was cheaper than silver or gold but more durable than pure copper.
The term sometimes appears in fantasy games and historical fiction to denote minor currency: The innkeeper charged three brass coins for a meal.
