Copper. Mixed with tin, it becomes bronze, and mixed with zinc, brass. You can see this for yourself by taking a shiny U.S. penny from 1984 or newer. Hold it in a flame (even a candle will do) and wait for a color change. Modern pennies are zinc with a little copper, so when heated, it becomes brass.
