The term Copper was the original, unshortened word, originally used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". (In British English the term Cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'To Capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin 'Capere' via the Old French 'Caper'). The common myth is that it's a term referring to the police officer's buttons which are made of copper.

Collecting together money from your pockets, bag, around the house or down the back of the settee. Usually collected together to buy some small item like a pint of milk or a loaf of sliced bread. Therefore all the pennies and small change in copper will have an inordinate value. May be used as a slightly offensive word if you have a group of people pooling all their money to buy a cheap bottle of wine between them or some similar object of desire.
