Is brass or nickel silver wireing good for making pins and rivets out of?

America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

Of the two choices, I'd pick nickel silver. I just don't like brass. I don't care for the color or anything about it.
Given broader choices I'd go with 416 stainless steel rod/pin. Never tarnish or get verdigris from leather or just the atmosphere, and you really can't distinguish it from NS unless they're side by side. NS has a slightly yellowish cast to it as it's generally above 80% brass in content.
