Aluminum is an extremely conductive material. Electrical wire is commonly made of aluminum. Aluminum foil is just a big block of aluminum flattened into a long roll.

SO THE ANSWER IS ALUMINUM CAN CONDUCT ELECTRICITY!!!!!!!

In the US aluminum electrical wire is banned, because the surface oxide is nonconductive causing high resistance connections to develop resulting in electrical fires. Only copper electrical wire is legal, its surface oxide is conductive.

Yes. It is not readily used as such though because it is rather expensive to use in quantity. (This answer is used here as it is the same question as the other question 'Is aluminium a good conductor of electricity'. I did not create this answer either. It belongs to Kodiacathy.)

yes

Edit

If you are asking whether or not aluminum can conduct electricity, the answer is yes. In fact, in older homes, aluminum wiring was used instead of copper, which is much safer and used now instead of aluminum.

Why aluminium hangers doesn't conduct electricity?

Aluminium hangers do conduct electricity, as aluminium is a good conductor of electricity. The reason you may not experience an electric shock when touching an aluminium hanger is because it is often coated with a non-conductive material, such as paint or plastic, which prevents direct contact with the aluminium.
