Cooper or platinum?

Which do you prefer? For mailability I am all about copper and tinfoil. Value, platinum.

Four beers and this is all we get?
What a gyp.

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

OK #1, two of the choices are metals, and one is a metal in specified in foil form. (What we commonly refer to as tinfoil is actually a foil of aluminum.)
Anyway, put me solidly in the copper camp. It has very high thermal and electrical conductivity, and is relatively inexpensive compared to, say, silver.
I would have said aluminum, with its high strength-to-weight ratio, but you said foil, making that pretty much irrelevant.

I agree with Jack.

I still haven't voted because as much as I love stealing copper from my neighbors and half built houses to sell to scrap places, tinfoil is what enables me to make my Jamaica Jerk Chicken as good as it is.

You'll get better results with something more conductive. Copper foil is expensive, but worth the results, IMO. Especially in situations involving robots.

Psshht, nice try, moron. The only platinum dragon is Bahamut, the god of metallic dragons.
