Copper, zinc, magnesium, nickel just like most other US dollar coins.

The metal is worth about 5 cents.

It might be a collectors item, but there does seem to be a lot of collectors out there at the beginning, which is a bad sign. What you want is for demand to be a million times higher in the future than now. That is simply not possible. What is likely is demand will continue to drop.

It is not quite Confederate money. The US Government is on the hook for paying you $1 for each coin, which sets a floor to the value.

Though I would argue that it being illegal, the US Government is not responsible for it. Only Congress can order the minting of money backed by the US Government, and they have blatantly not. I certainly would not accept it as currency.
