Copper penny does not burn in the traditional sense, as it is a metal and has a high melting point (about 1,984°F or 1,085°C). However, when subjected to extreme heat, such as in a fire or furnace, a copper penny can oxidize or melt, but it won't "burn" like organic materials do. It's important to note that the composition of pennies has changed over time; pre-1982 pennies are mostly copper, while post-1982 pennies are primarily zinc with a copper plating.
