Anyone decided on the correct links this week? Is it Copper Plate or Brass Plate, and in either case what goes with NIckel?

[Aquagility]

This may help - or maybe not.

AQ, I stand corrected about "coppers" and "silver" but to extend the fun about what will be Kate's decision - do a Google on this search request!

american coin copper nickel

AND Pauline if you read this, next Saturday remember these lines from Herrick's "Corinna's going a-Maying"!

"Get up, sweet slug-a-bed, and see
The dew bespangling herb and tree!"

Brass nickel
Copper Plate
I don't get how previous answer helps???

[Catron]

Copper-nickel and brass plate are both in Chambers dictionary, brass nickel is not - good enough for me.

reading these messages has got me confused, i had made my list then thought i would check to see if anyone had posted a list.
copper nickel
compact disc
iceland spar
brass plate

Thanks to all the above! Having posted this question in the first place I'm glad to see others are as undecided as I am! I was going to go with Brass Plate and Copper Nickel (ex Chambers) but will have to give it more thought!

[Aquagility]

Thanks, Strix. You've convinced me.
I'll go for
Copper nickel
Brass plate.

Nickel Brass is in Oxford, but brass nickel is, of course, a well-known colloquialism, as in "not one brass nickel". This is a bit of a conundrum.
