An example is the British penny. Years ago the penny was large and almost if not entirely copper, as years have passed still the face value a penny but much smaller and not made of all copper but a cheaper mix of metals. When these now are found on the beach their is more corrosion visible and they are even magnetic so their could be iron present. That would also signify a change in colour. Your own coins if you study them you will notice the changes in size and composition as years have passed.

The wheat coins where from the World War years. With a shortage of metal or not enough for the war effort, the case with Britain not sure the U.S. but anyway with the fragile economy at the time instead of a gradual change in the metal value of coins there could have been a sudden change in the metal composition of those coints minted. It would make interesting research to study coins minted in those years. As years go by coins are the same face value but the metal used is worth less.
