It's probably aluminium. It's cheaper than copper but it's not suitable for long distance runs (as it has a higher resistance) or for use in flex (as it's too brittle). However it's ideal for situations where it's to be used over relatively short distances and kept in a fixed position, such as when wiring homes.
