Most people would say Copper because it is worth ~ $3.00 per pound as scrap. The truth is, however, that pure nickel scrap is worth more than pure copper scrap, namely $8-$9 per pound. Nickel is much harder to find though, so people don't think to answer nickel.
Cupronickel in a mixture of copper and nickel, like what is used to make coins. This copper nickel alloy is often used in silver-plate. This is often worth more than the value of pure copper.
That being said, any metal can be scrapped. So technically that includes rare and precious metals like gold, platinum and rhodium. But I don't think you were inquiring as to the worth of those.
