Greek alchemists were really good at poisoning themselves in their attempts to make gold, I am fairly sure its why this alloy never got past the Latin name.

I've been reading a lot about different metals lately, but lately is only the last couple of months so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. There might not be much use for copper-lead alloy in the modern world, but there is some use for Lead-Copper-Zinc alloy. Here is a web page that gives some information on different alloys of brass. Some of them have lead in them. Although, since some people seem determined to eliminate the use of lead all together who know how common such alloy are anymore.
