I agree. I've never understood what makes a metal more valuable than another besides it malleability.
You are wondering about the difference between money and currency.
Gold is money. Everything else is currency.

At least copper has value as piping/tubing.
Gold has value because it is long lasting, and there's always someone who will want it. Its like cigarettes in prison. Even if you don't smoke you will trade in cigarettes, because its known that someone, somewhere will ultimately find them valuable. Since gold is beautiful, malleable, and useful, even if not to you but at least to some others, it has value. And that combination of characteristics makes it an ideal currency.
