RCS Loonie is solid brass. > **[Loonie](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/loonie-yoyo-by-rain-city-skills?variant=28717128974410)** > > Rain City’s first Micro yoyo, back in 2019, the Loonie is a little bit of magic. The name comes from the Canadian $1 coin, named for the bird on one side (a Loon). This yoyo is roughly the diameter of a Loonie, small enough to get lost in your pocket... Just under $50 here on YYE. The Kun had a brass, steel, and copper version. Out of stock, though. > **[Yicheng Luo](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yicheng-luo?_pos=2&_sid=b95240900&_ss=r)** > > Yicheng Luo has been in the yo-yo game for a long time and we are really excited to see him creating a new line of yo-yos for the modern yo-yo player! ---

are Copper and Brass different metals? or is it just a slightly different name for one metal? ---

Brass is an alloy. Copper and zinc or something. ---

exactly!!! considering that both copper and brass have a specific gravity greater than that of steel, therefore, if used as monometals, only very small yoyos can be made with them. ---

If you want some extra frustration in your life you could try the Aoda Littles! Pretty sure it’s brass. Super difficult to hit your tricks but it’s a ton of fun 🤪
