(Some bronze 2 pencecoins were issued in 1998 within the circulating coinage). The 5, 10 and 50 Pence coins are made from a cupronickel alloy containing 75% copper and 25% nickel. In 2011, the copper content of the 5 and 10 pence was dropped and subsequent mintage uses nickel plated* steel. The older cupronickel issues will be withdrawn gradually in a longer-term changeover plan. The 20 Pence coins are made from cupronickel containing 84% copper and 16% nickel. The One Pound coins are made from a nickel-brass alloy containing 70% copper, 24.5% zinc and 5.5% nickel. The bimetallic Two Pound coins are made from an outer ring (annulus) of nickel-brass (76% copper, 20% zinc and 4% nickel) and a core of cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel). *Full plate cf. cladded coins.

Why copper or silver used in coins?
Pure copper, silver and gold has not been used to make general circulation coins for a long time, but for many years, the value of a coin was determined by the metal it was made from and its weight. British copper coins changed to bronze, which included a large percentage of copper, in 1860. British silver coins were gradually debased from 1919/1920 and changed to a copper nickel alloy from 1947. Copper was a relatively cheap and durable metal to make coins from once, but became much too expensive, even as part of a bronze alloy. In the early 1990's, all British bronze coins were subsequently made from copper plated steel. Silver was used to make coins of a higher value and the value of the coin was reflected in the diameter and weight of the coin, but silver also became too expensive.
