Do you find yourself peeing & drinking more than usual? A dry mouth & metal taste are both symptoms of diabetes. Try cutting down on sugar for a few days & see what difference it makes. Also, a dry mouth will contribute to bad breath.

This could be blood that you are tasting, you may have a touch of gingivitis or something, smelly breath would also indicate this, it may be a good idea to go visit your dentist and get him to check it out. It can be cured quickly and easily with medication.
If you ignore it, could could not only loose all your teeth but also all your friends!

My best advice would be to seek out a doctor. You should have your tonsils check up and your physical condition. Pregnancy? Weak gums? Too much iron in the blood? It may be something minor, so until you get results don't fret over too much honey ok?
cheers

Blood has a metallic taste to it. If you have bleeding gums or perhaps bit the inside of your mouth, you could be tasting blood.

I don't want to scare you but you may have diabetes. The metal taste comes when you have too much sugar in your system. You need to get to your doctors.

Are you the daughter of Collosus from XMEN? That would be the coolest. Accept your special gift of having the ability to turn into metal. Professor Xavier can help you polish your mutant skills.

Could be a small amount of blood that had disappeared by the time you really noticed it.
Could be caused by teeth or accidentally biting the tongue.
Drink water, and try to ignore it.
