3000 years ago
In 1982, the U.S. stopped using bronze blanks and started using zinc coated with a thin copper plating.
Humans started using metal tools around 3,000 BCE during the Bronze Age. The first metals used were copper and tin, which were combined to create bronze tools and weapons. This marked a significant advancement in technology and had a major impact on human civilization.

Early humans started using axes around 1.6 million years ago during the Lower Paleolithic period. These early axes were simple stone tools crudely shaped by flaking the edges. Over time, their design and material improved, leading to more efficient cutting and chopping tools.

Archaeologists believe early humans started fires through friction methods, such as using a fire drill or a fire saw to create heat through rubbing two objects together. They may have also used techniques like striking flint against pyrite to create sparks, or captured and tended natural fires.
Early humans used simple tools made from stones, bones, and wood, such as hand axes, spears, and scrapers. These tools were used for hunting, gathering food, and making clothing and shelters. Over time, they started using more advanced tools made from metal.
Early humans made tools by shaping rocks and stones into desired shapes using other rocks as hammers. They also used bones and antlers as tools by sharpening them to cut and scrape. This process of making tools is known as knapping and allowed early humans to better control their environment and improve their survival.
Early humans developed the ability to craft and use tools, control fire, and communicate using language long before other abilities such as farming, writing, or advanced technology. These early developments allowed humans to better adapt and thrive in various environments.
In 1943 copper was needed for the war effort and Lincoln cents were struck on steel planchets coated with zinc. 1982 was the year the Mint started using copper plated zinc planchets.
Using copper washers as opposed to using aluminum aren't to much more beneficial except for the fact that copper is more reusable. On the down side copper is more expensive.
