=== Aluminium coins ===
Cupronickel coins are the third smallest denomination available in the Mazes, being worth [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.50'''.
They are made out of cupronickel alloy, which is 70% copper and 30% nickel. One popular nickname for this type of coin is ''Cunny''; which was presumably invented by putting together the chemical abbreviations for copper and nickel: Cu and Ni. As the term can be considered mildly vulgar, the abbreviation other names such as ''CnHalf'', or the alternative name ''Half-buck'' or ''Connie'' may be preferred. Common nicknames: ''Cunny'', ''Connie'', ''Half'', ''Half-buck''
=== Brass coins ===
As it turned out, the visiting engineer submitted a proposal to the Engineering Corps to create new currency denominations and standardize the process he witnessed at Camp Baxter, namely through the creation of brass coins. His proposal was accepted, and he was transferred to the secret Minting Facility, where he oversaw the minting of the first brass coins. The very first brass coins were minted on Nonama 9, E6-99, and legend says that they were made by melting spent [[9x19mm Parabellum]] casings. In the months that followed, new denominations using other materials were soon created, thus creating the 12-coin denomination system that is still used to this day.
