Metal is a word that basically means "any mix of elements" Mix iron and carbon and you get steel. Steel is a metal alloy. Yes, but coins are usually a mix of zinc and usually some other cheap iron or something like that. The penny is currently under consideration of removal, because the copper and zinc needed actually costs more than the one cent that the penny is worth.

Coins are generally made of metal but not always. For example during the second world war, in order to conserve metal, the Japanese made come coins out of baked clay. I know it sounds kinda cheap, but believe me when I say that those coins in nice conditions are worth more than you think. Most modern world coins composed of base metals like copper, nickel, zinc, aluminium and iron.
