Yes, but don't breathe the fumes.
Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.
Current pennies (since 1982) are copper-plated zinc, so the answer is it's covered in copper. The penny is 2.5% copper, and 97.5% zinc. See the related links for a history of penny composition over the years.
They are two different things. Zinc plated means it's coated in zinc. Cold rolled means it's "smashed" into shape without added heat. So you could have something that's cold rolled AND zinc plated!
Zinc
310Nm (230ft/lbs) Dry Zinc Plated
Zinc is not magnetic but if it is zinc plated steel it will stick to a magnet
Steel-plated zinc.
Nope. Modern staples are made out of steel plated zinc.
it is zinc plated in silver
Depending on the method used, it would either be called "zinc plated steel" or "galvanized steel." Use the link below to read more on this method of treating steel to improve its corrosion resistance.
Apx 5.1 grains for a standard Zinc BB ----------------------------------------- Hi - Today I weighed BBs. New Daisy zinc-plated steel BBs. I made 15 runs of tests with a 200g 0.01g scale that tests very accurate with my calibration weights. Results of my Daisy zinc-plated steel BBs - Weighed 15 times in lots of 100 & 200 BBs each time - Averages - Each BB calculated out to 0.349 grams and 5.386 grains. 349 mg & 5.386 grains each. Results were very consistent. Surprisingly consistent. New Daisy zinc-plated steel BBs. .177 caliber Premium-Grade Precision Max 4.5mm steel BBs. -----------------------------------------
It's made of zinc-plated steel rather than pure zinc. They retail for about 25 to 50 cents in average condition.

No. 1943 cents are often called steelies because they were made of zinc-plated steel.
Sorry it's actually zinc plated steel. They are worth 3 cents to $3
