- Virenium?
I see coins in catalog made of virenium. What exactly is Virenium?
Never heard of it. Is it precious metal? Can you give links with such coins?

Hello,
it is sometimes known as German Silver or Nickel Silver there is actually no Silver content in it.
It is an alloy of Copper, Nickel and Zinc.

Hi,
composition of Virenium is 81%Cu, 9%Ni, 10%Zn although other varieties of this alloy can be with possibly some Manganese as well.
