Explanation:
An element is defined as a substance that contains same type of atoms. For example, a spoon made up of only copper metal will contain only atoms of copper.
A compound is defined as a substance in which atoms chemically combine together in a fixed ratio by mass.
For example, [tex]AlCl_{3}[/tex] is a compound.
A mixture is defined as a substance in which two or more components are physically combined but none of the components are chemically combined to each other.
For example, a jar filled with different coins is a mixture.
Components of a mixture can be separated by physical means.
Therefore, we can conclude that in the given situation the coins would be classified as a mixture.
