they will corrode
Heat speeds up chemical reactions. As corrosion is a chemical reaction, copper pipes at a higher temperature will corrode faster
because we keep metal next to chemicals that corrode them. Metals like iron naturally corrode in water. Other metals can be made to corrode using chemicals.
Sorry, copper does not react with sulphuric acid because it is not reactive enough to do so. Only metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.
Of course coins corrode. Over time coins corrode. They corrode faster in tap water. Bleach also corrodes coins. If you have time, try some experiments and see what substances corrode coins.

Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes

I did mine in my scieence fair project and nothing happend to the copper

As pennies are not made of iron, they cannot rust under any circumstances.However they can corrode. The copper shell will produce a green corrosion product, the zinc core can corrode completely away as a transparent water soluble corrosion product. This corrosion will be very slow in plain water (much slower than iron rusts in water) but will be much faster if an acid is added to the water.
when copper is put with water it turns green like the statue of liberty it is actually a browny bronze colour but when water and other chemicals react with it, it chages colour to a green colour
The problem of pinholes developing in copper pipe has been associated with the drawing lubricants, and also in water that is close to neutral PH. I cannot give you a reference - sorry.
with a set of freon guages. The smaller copper pipe should be warm to hot. The larger copper pipe should be cold and in hot humid weather dripping water from condensation. what should the guages read.

Yes. Some can only corrode soft things, and some can corrode everything. But in short, all acids can corrode something. It only gets dangerous if the acid can corrode you.
