Several GREEN copper salts that can be created from combinations of copper and other chemicals such as copper sulfate, copper acetate etc. The Statue of Liberty is green as aiys copper covering is exposed to the salt water and heat. Your skin has many chemicals in sweat that attack the copper bands and allow them to corrode and oxudize turning the resulting chemicals green on your hand. You can also notice this action on copper wires that are exposed to the outside elements.
