What is the name of the process that turns a penny green?

That green stuff that shows up on copper is called verdigris, and is also known as patina.

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.
