on the other hand Gold consist of copper

Key Properties of Copper Alloys

Excellent heat conductivity.

Excellent electrical conductivity.

Good corrosion resistance.

Good biofouling resistance.

Good machinability.

Retention of mechanical and electrical properties at cryogenic temperatures.

Non-magnetic.

so the difference is that copper is less expensive and not priced with its beauty
