standard resistance coils are made from alloys like manganin and constantan because of their high resistivity and low-temperature coefficient of resistance

Manganin is a trademarked name for an alloy of typically 84% copper, 12% manganese, and 4% nickel. ... Manganin foil and wire is used in the manufacture of resistors, particularly ammeter shunts, because of its virtually zero temperature coefficient of resistance value and long term stability.
