Drowned should still drop gold, Husks should drop copper

I noticed that in the new snapshot, Drowned no longer drop gold and now drop copper. I feel like instead of this, it would make more sense for Husks to drop copper, and for Drowned to continue dropping gold. This would make every zombie variant except for the Zombie Villager have a unique rare ingot drop. Also, I would love to see more rare drops like this in the game in general, as it adds more excitement to killing mobs.

    There's already a type of Zombie that drops Gold, they're the Zombiefied Piglins! Drowneds dropping Copper makes the mob more unique and interesting to farm, Husks should have something else to make they feel special not a Zombiefied Piglin loot ripoff

    Dividing the three kinds of ingot between those three "overworld-type" zombies seems like a great idea. In-universe, the husks of the desert may seem reminiscent of bygone civilizations (mummies), which brings the bronze age to mind (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Halstatt). And husks may possibly be very old indeed. Very fitting to have them drop copper. The drowned makes one think of merchants and sailors, trading in gold and other valuable commodities. Also it fits a supposed connection to the gold-rich underwater monuments. As for the regular zombie, the occasional iron ingot completes the picture.
    Answering the concern about zombified piglins, those are of another world, and the golden opportunities for those daring to venture into their world still seem to fit the bill of "the drowned sailor" and/or the remnant of the (supposedly advanced) underwater civilization.
