True or false the composition of a penny is 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper?
True and False. If the coin is dated 1983 and newer, it is indeed 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. However, if it is dated 1981 and earlier, then it is 95% copper. During 1982, the US Government decided that pennies were too expensive to make with so much copper. So they decided to use zinc, with is strong and also cheaper. These newer pennies are only coated with copper. One can easily decide the content by its weight. The newer zinc pennies weigh only 2.50 grams, whereas the older copper-rich pennies weigh 3.11 grams.
Do pennies rust in water vinegar and bleach?
A mixture of water, vinegar, and bleach is corrosive to most metals. If pennies are placed in it, the copper will oxidize. Rusting is a term only applying to the oxidization of iron, not other metals. The pennies will look a lot cleaner and the liquid will turn blue. If you leave the pennies in the mixture too long, holes may start to form in them.
