Sounds like brass. In the citation below, "free cutting brass", although that does have a tiny bit of lead.

Indeed copper mixed with zinc makes the solid/solid solution (alloy) brass. Thus the 'gold' penny lab.

Mix copper with tin and get bronze.

Get an "A".

They make brass. The color of the brass is determined by the amount of Zn that is mixed with the copper. The more golden color is desirable.
