What lasts longer coin made of copper or coin made of nickel?

The Royal Mint has not produced a purely copper coin since 1860 when they changed to bronze for making "copper" coins. The bronze consisted of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin. All British "copper" coins are now made from copper plated steel. The Royal Mint does not produce any purely nickel coins either, but coins made from an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Of the two, the copper/nickel coins would last a little longer. The Royal Mint expects to get 40 to 50 years use out of its coins before they recycle them.
