Abstract
The composition of coins can be determined quickly using an Excimer laser t
o ablate nanogram to microgram amounts of material to be swept into the pla
sma of I an array ICP emission spectrometer run in the simultaneous mode. E
lemental "fingerprints" and depth profiles then allow a differentiation bet
ween coins of different origins.
