Coins of various ages
Ageing coins. Three British one pence coins of various ages, showing the change in their appearance with time. The coins get older from left to right. Chemical reactions with atmospheric oxygen and water lead to the dulling of the lustre of the coins, and the accumulation of dirt also reduces their shine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating transformation of coins over time. The image features three British one pence coins, each representing a different age and displaying distinct changes in their appearance. Arranged from left to right, the coins progressively reveal the effects of ageing on their lustre. Chemical reactions with atmospheric oxygen and water play a significant role in this process, causing the once shiny surfaces to dull gradually. As time goes by, oxidation takes place, resulting in an oxidised layer that alters the original shine of these sterling pennies. Additionally, accumulated dirt further diminishes their brilliance. The juxtaposition of newer and older coins highlights how currency evolves aesthetically as it ages. Each coin tells its own story through its unique markings and wear patterns acquired during circulation. This visual representation not only demonstrates the physical consequences of chemical reactions but also serves as a reminder of our monetary history. Beyond being mere objects for transactions, these aged pennies symbolize endurance and resilience against the passage of time. They serve as tangible reminders that even something as seemingly insignificant as loose change can bear witness to countless moments in our lives. In this remarkable photograph by Science Photo Library, we are invited to appreciate both the scientific processes at work behind coin ageing and the beauty found within everyday objects touched by time's gentle hand.
