That green stuff that shows up on copper is called verdigris, and is also known as patina. In addition to making your penny green, it's also what makes the copper Statue of Liberty look green!
The process by which verdigris is made is called oxidation. Most of the time, when copper oxidizes, it turns dark brown, like most pennies you see. When saltwater is added (like in somebody's sweaty pocket) the copper turns green instead.
