What metal is sweet wrappers made of?

I can only speak for my country New Zealand, where the slab chocolate is commonly wrapped in aluminum foil, then a decorative outer wrapper of paper. For small individual sweets, such as say choc caramels, these are wrapped in a plastic film, the surface of which may have a metalized coating - but very thin.
