These types of tokens are one of the most common forms of bi-metallic tokens. You can recognise this colour combination from the 1 euro coin, the UK 2 pound coin or the Mexican 2 peso coin.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first ever coin made of bi-metallic material was the 10 franc coin of France. This too was a gold-silver bi-metallic token.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of a gold-silver bi-metallic token<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies looking for tokens for their operations might look into gold-silver bi-metallic tokens for several practical purposes:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anti-counterfeiting:<\/strong> The main driver for companies looking into bi-metallic tokens and gold-silver bi-metallic tokens more specifically is added security. The use of 2 different alloys with different densities in a single token results in a distinct combined density and electromagnetic signature. The machines required to create bi-metallic tokens are also more specialised than those used for regular metal tokens which makes it harder to counterfeit the tokens.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> By using 2 different alloys, the surfaces of gold-silver bi-metallic tokens have greater contrast. The distinct bimodal surface with this extra contrast helps visually impaired users to identify the tokens by touch and sight more easily than single-alloy coins. The Eurosystem explicitly cited this in the Euro coin design.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Machine readability:<\/strong> Thanks to the different metal combinations, each gold-silver bi-metallic token has a unique electrical conductivity profile, letting vending machines, transit fare systems and other electrical coin validator reliably distinguish coins of similar size and composition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability and wear visibility:<\/strong> The 2 contrasting metals of gold-silver bi-metallic tokens make wear, tampering or alteration (like plating) easier to spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where gold-silver tokens are used<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold-silver tokens are more secure than single alloy tokens. This makes them the obvious choice for environments where precision and security are of the utmost importance, such as casino tokens and transit fare systems.
