Answer:
The metals used to make coins are specifically chosen to serve long term. Coins have a purpose and some special requirements based on the conditions they will encounter. The metal used must thus have excellent wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties. Hence coins are usually made using base metal alloys.
Coins are made of metal partly for historical reasons (that's what they've always been made of!) But the ancients had good reasons for making their coins of metal.
Metals are valuable. Typically coins of higher value are made of metal of higher value.
Metals are durable.
Unlike stone, they won't shatter; unlike wood, they don't burn easily and are hard to break.
Metals are easy and cheap to form and stamp. They can be melted and recast; they can be stamped with the king's (or queen's) head and anything else you care to put on them.
In this way, it becomes easier to distinguish real currency from counterfeits.
