Key:
Green = legal tender coins have been made of this element
Yellow = bullion rounds, commemorative or collector issues, or other forms of Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT)
Blue = only fantasy issues, trial strikes, tokens or medals exist.
Light gray = coins or medals could possibly be made from this element
Dark gray = this element is unsuitable for coinage

Many thanks to Tony Clayton for inspiring me to collect element coins.

Thanks also to Metallium and Fred Zinkann for creating interesting coins and medals in some very unusual and difficult materials.

Theodore Gray has literally made a periodic table out of wood, in which he collects all the elements, including many of these coins.
