No, because rusting has to do with oxygen and IRON. Wax (obviously) has pretty much nothing to do with iron. See, rusting is basically the reaction of oxygen or moisture/water on iron.

Do pennies rust faster in saltwater or in fresh water?

Pennies are made of copper and don't rust unless they are the zinc pennies issued in 1942 and 1943. However, zinc will not rust either. The so-called steel pennies minted during World War II were made of steel and coated with zinc. If the penny becomes damaged or if the zinc coating is compromised, the underlying steel will rust if exposed to the proper elements. Pennies do corrode though.


Do pennies rust in water vinegar and bleach?

A mixture of water, vinegar, and bleach is corrosive to most metals. If pennies are placed in it, the copper will oxidize. Rusting is a term only applying to the oxidization of iron, not other metals. The pennies will look a lot cleaner and the liquid will turn blue. If you leave the pennies in the mixture too long, holes may start to form in them.


Is the stuff on pennies rust or tart?
