not all copper, since it *does* fantastically with a penny. And I tried apple cider vinegar, didn't have the suggested white vinegar on hand, and ACV had no perceptible effect beyond clearing out the old dried polish residue from the etched parts. The hot sauce doesn't do anything for the chrome (nickel?) or pewter stuff. Will continue to try other hot sauces with fewer ingredients.
