By far the most important use of copper is in electrical wiring; it is an excellent conductor of electricity , it can be made extremely pure, it corrodes slowly, and it can be formed easily into thin wire. Copper is a good conductor of heat. It is used in cooking utensils.

Copper is still used to make electrical wiring and in the fancy metal roofing you see on some large buildings.

Actually, it still is used in pennies, as well as many things you'd be suprised at. It's used of course for electrical wiring, used in gold jewelery, alloyed in cookware, and used in vitimins and many antibiotics.
