Fred Zinkann has done so. A company called Metallium is making coins (tokens actually) from all the elements in the AE Bullion list and more. And yes, some of them do oxidize quickly and must be kept sealed in glass. Gallium melts unless you keep it in the fridge. Niobium, Zirconium, Scandium, Titanium and Tantalum however make very attractive coins. You'd be surprised how many elements have already been used to make real legal tender coins... including carbon and antimony! See my website.

Is it possible mint coins out of Iridium or Rhenium? I think so. Why any mints in the world do not issues coins made of these metals?
