I have read somewhere that the yeast can actually use a microscopic
amount of copper. Presumably most of that will be left behind in the
yeast.

As such the copper chiller will tend to oxidize on its surface, and
soaking it in acidic wort will dissolve some of the copper oxides -
that's why the chiller comes out bright and shiny! I have no idea how
much we are talking about here, but it can't be much metal.
