copper is smelted using a temperature of 800 -1000c it is then put into 3-6 containers then it cools down in the 3 containers
One reason is because it resists corrosion and another reason is that it can easily be made into pipes for hot and cold water, oil, etc. However, compared to modern plastic materials, copper is much more expensive to use: its ore must first be mined, then the ore has to be smelted and refined into metal pipes, wires, etc. So nowadays, for drainpipes, plastic pipes are used instead of copper.
modern pennys are only copper coated
Modern English 1p coins are made of copper-plated steel. So yes, there is a tiny amount of copper.

Pure copper has not been used to make British coins for about 150 years. From 1860, British "copper" coins were made from bronze which consisted mostly of copper varying from 95 to 97% copper. From 1992, British "copper" coins were made from copper plated steel. Ironically, copper is used to make modern "silver" coins (cupro-nickel) consisting usually of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Please rephrase question. Except for cents and dollars, modern coins are 75% copper.
