Not just pretty . Maybe viracidal or at least unfriendly to virus .

One study , not peer reviewed , suggests the virus only remains viable on copper surfaces for ~4hr vs much, much longer on stainless steal and most smooth plastics .

While probably not effective against werewolves, copper actually has a stronger oligodynamic effect than silver.

That will be difficult for people who normally keep their hands in their pants. It'll work for everyone else.
