Copper wire is the best, glass is the worst. Coins are not bad, aluminium cans are OK for small amounts of current. Modern steel coins are worse than the old coins with copper in them.

What does a copper element get used for?
Copper element is used in large amounts by the electrical industry in the form of wire, copper is second only to silver in electrical conductance. Since it resists corrosion from the air, moisture and seawater, copper has been widely used in coins.
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?

What are the three use of copper?
Copper coins (though are more an alloy than pure copper nowadays), copper pipes in plumbing, copper plus tin and other metals to produce bronze.

How do you tell the difference between a copper nickel coin and a silver one?
In that there are no copper or silver niclle coins the question has no purpose. Copper and silver coins can be distinguished from each other by chemical reactivity, density, appearance (colour), electrical conductivity, mint mars and dates and a numismatic data book.
What price is a 1lb of copper coins worth?
