Not at all. Go to the web site and look at bullion coins. (I only mentioned circulating coinage.) Bullion coins, gold or silver, are made of metal not suitable for the wear and tear of everyday circulation. They are made for their beauty and appeal to collectors. Without the hardening alloys, the coins would have suffered excessive abrasion and loss of metal (and value). But US and Canadian Bullion coins marked 999 Fine are indeed pretty pure metal! You have to trust some things sometime!
