The 'copper' coins are in fact copper-clad steel nowadays, although older ones are bronze.
From 2011 5p and 10p coins are in nickel-clad steel, although earlier ones are cupronickel.
20p and 50p coins are minted in two slightly different copper-nickel alloys.
Pound coins are in nickel-brass, while two pound coins are in nickel-brass with a cupronickel centre.
