bronze coins

Small metal tender

Bronze coins are coins made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

Historically, bronze coins represented lower denominations in currency systems, used for everyday small transactions.

The term appears in historical contexts, numismatics, and fantasy settings: The merchant counted out a handful of bronze coins.

Ancient Roman bronze coins are prized by collectors.
