yes very safe.
add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.

Yes. Copper is a very good conductor. But a penny is not a safe device to include in an electrical circuit.
Is it safe to repair a ripped electrical cord?
No, not by itself. The cord should be replaced. If that is impractical, an electrician can cut out the melted part, connect the wires back together, then tape the wires and then the cord around the repair. This fix is pretty safe and secure.
Does the fuse box need to be grounded?
Yes, it is important to have the fuse box properly grounded. Grounding the fuse box helps to protect you and your electrical devices from electrical faults and ensures the safe operation of the electrical system in your home or building.
