i found a gold penny once. try scratching off the gold, like i did. the color scratched off easily and the result is a normal penny. But i dont know how they make gold pennys, or the reason More Information: A penny can tarnish to a golden hue. The environment it is in can cause it to tarnish different colors. For example, gold color, blue color, black color, shades of red color. A penny could be gold plated but it would destroy its numismatic value.
