I think this might depend a lot on the reader, at least for me, but it can be subtle - for example, there are ways of intoning "Gold Medallion", capitalised, that make it sound a bit different from "gold medallion".
Copper is a different story as it would be the same in print as in audio.
I'm also weird about accents: I'm fine listening to a USAn accent for a book by a USAn author, but a while back I struck an audiobook by an Australian author that was read in a heavy USAn accent, and I just couldn't handle the dissonance.
