What Makes a Coin ‘Last’ for Centuries?

Coins last a long time if they are made of strong materials. Imagine you have two piggy banks, one is filled with paper money, and the other has coins. The paper will crumble after a while, but the coins can stay shiny for centuries because they’re made from metals like gold or silver that don’t break easily. If a coin doesn’t get wet, rusty, or worn down by people using it, it might last for hundreds of years, just like some ancient coins we still use today.
