It's amazing how many replies you got that don't directly answer the question!

Acoustic guitar strings use different materials than electric strings. There's no need to interact with the magnetic field of pickups, so there is no need to use steel or nickel wrapping.

Most acoustic strings have a steel core with either bronze or phosphor-bronze wrapping. The phosphor bronze usually sounds brighter.
