Copper or zinc
There is no way to enlarge a penny. In fact, because pennies are made of a metal, they cannot be enlarged or made smaller.
A qualitative observation for a penny could be that it is round, small, and made of metal.
The 1916 penny was made with a special press designed to manufacture coins. The metal used in the 1916 penny consisted of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc.
It's copper. &Copper is metal. So yeah.
The metal composition of penny coins made after 1982 is 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper. The first penny coins, from 1793 to 1837, were made from pure copper.
This is not a penny made by the US mint. It is most likely only worth it's metal value.
97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper since 1982.
A new penny is primarily made of copper-plated zinc. The core of the coin is made of zinc, which is coated with a thin layer of copper to give it its distinctive appearance.
A 1957 penny is made of bronze, an alloy of 95% copper with the rest being varying amounts of tin and zinc. There were over 1 billion pennies made in that year, with all of them being made of bronze.
Today, a penny is made of primarily zinc with a thin coating of copper. This composition is known as copper-plated zinc.
The question does not make sense because copper is a metal.
Actually, it is illegal. The metal in a penny is worth more than a penny. However, quarters made before 1974(I think), can be sold for their weigth in silver.
