It depends what kind of vampire it is and on where and more importantly when it is. Legends of vampires, or at least "vampire like" creatures can be found from the worlds earliest civilizations and from Japan to pre-Columbian America, from the Arctic to South Africa. Western societies concept of a vampire is based on Eastern European, mostly Slavic, stories, especially from the early 1700's when there was an outbreak of sightings, grave openings and stakings of vampires.
Few, if any, of the original stories, or the lore they were based on,mention any metal that vampires can not touch. Some Romany traditions do say that all the body openings of a vampire must be closed with steel needle and pins. In some places an iron or steel rod. not a wooden stake, had to be driven thru the heart,
in other places decapitation with a stell blade was required to kill a vampire.
Modern Vampire stories are created by authors to reflect contemporary society and while based on ancient lore can often have little resemblance to original characteristics. Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, can be considered the basis of modern vampire lore. There were novels before it, one by Stoker himself, but Dracula was the first really succesful novel and gained wide spread audience. As well as inspiring many imitators, plays and movies. Stoker combined elements of various vampire legends as well as legends of other creatures to create his Dracula. Stoker used the Texan hero's steel Bowie knife to decapitate Dracula as well as staking is heart and burning the corpse.
Silver causing burns if a vampire touches it is a recent addition, from the 1800's. It was probably borrowed from silver's effects on other creatures, were wolves, witches, "spirits" , especially demons, devils , and other beings sent by Satan. The effects of silver are primarily from areas with Christian influence. Perhaps because of the association with Judas and the 30 pieces, silver was seen as a holy metal. This may be why a vampire has no reflection in a mirror, early glass mirrors were made with a backing of real silver. But some legends say vampires were souless, souless beings in general cast no shadoe or reflection in any thing. But other areas say vampires have an undying soul.
In other places and times, various metals have detrimental effects on various creatures. Gnomes, elves, trolls can't touch iron; gold affects some things, iron doesn't but steel does, quick silver (Mercury), brass, copper, even tin are said to be anathema to others. For vampires, a metal's effects all depend on what kind of vampire it is, its nationality, its 'religion,' where it is, time of day, if it is 'asleep' or 'awake,' what form it is in, more human or vampire, some animal (wolf, bat, etc), or more of a spirit, or even amorphus ( fog, mist, smoke, even light.) But most importantly, who is telling the story.
What else can I help you with?
Why heat transfer to metal objects?
Heat transfers to, and from, any object, not just metal object. Metals in general are very good conductors of heat; as a result, you might feel the temperature more easily when you touch a metal object. If you get burned more easily by a metal object than by a wooden object, for example, both at the same temperature, this is a direct result of heat conduction.
Why must your touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope and not the rubber stopper?
You must touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope because metal is a good conductor of electricity, allowing the charge to flow through it. The electrons from the charged object redistribute along the metal rod and into the leaves of the electroscope, causing them to repel. Rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator and does not allow the charge to flow.
Why is it important to touch the object to the metal rod and not the rubber stopper?
It's important to touch the object to the metal rod and not the rubber stopper because metal is a good conductor of electricity, allowing any static charge to be neutralized. Rubber is an insulator, so it doesn't allow the charge to flow and can cause a buildup of static electricity on the object. This can lead to potential shocks or other hazards.
Why does a metal object feels cooler then a wood object at room temperature?
Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, so when you touch a metal object at room temperature, it conducts heat away from your skin more effectively than a wood object. This rapid transfer of heat creates the sensation of the metal feeling cooler even though both the metal and wood objects are at the same room temperature.
Why does a person walking across a carpet get shocked after touching a metal object?
When a person walks across a carpet, they create a build-up of static electricity on their body due to friction. This excess charge seeks to neutralize when they touch a metal object, leading to a static shock as the charge transfers between the person and the metal object.

Why is a bolt of lightning like the spark you see when you touch a metal object?
Both are static electricity.
Why does electricity move from you to a metal object after walking on carpet?
When you walk on carpet, you can build up a charge of static electricity. If you then touch a metal object, the charge will flow from you to the metal object because metals are good conductors of electricity. This transfer of charge is known as static discharge.

How do you build an electric clock from scratch?
Wear wool socks and rub them on the floor, then touch someone or a metal object.

Why does static electricity move from metal object after you had walk over new carpet?
When walking on a new carpet, electrons from the carpet may transfer to your body, making you negatively charged. When you touch a metal object, the excess electrons will move to the metal to equalize the charge, resulting in a static discharge.
Why do you get shocked on a door knob after running on the carpet?
When you run on carpet, your body builds up an excess of static electricity. When you touch a metal object like a doorknob, which conducts electricity easily, the excess charge flows from your body to the metal object, creating a sudden shock. This happens because the metal object provides a path for the built-up static charge to escape.
How can you avoid getting a shock from static electricity when you touch a metal doorknob?
I hate them too.When the humidity is low, static charge will build up no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The only thing I have found is to touch metal object with something else before touching my hand.
Why is it important to touch a charged object to the metal?
Touching a charged object to a metal allows for the excess charge to be grounded or dissipated, preventing the build-up of static electricity. This process helps to avoid potential shocks or damage to electronic devices that may occur when the charged object comes in contact with sensitive components.
