Beverly Kinch won the bronze medal in the Women's Long Jump event at the 1982 Commonwealth Games.
In 1903, the U.S. penny was made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper (95%) and tin (5%). The penny continued to be made of bronze until 1982 when it was switched to a copper-plated zinc composition.
If it was minted in 1981 or before [except for 1943 which were made from steel] it is bronze. In 1982 some were made of bronze and some were made of copper clad zinc. The copper clad zinc cents are lighter than the bronze cents. You can weigh them to tell the difference. Also, if you drop them on a hard surface, the bronze cent will have a greater metallic ring to it than the zinc cent. Bronze cents look a little different in color too. While not a foolproof way to tell, most seem to have a slightly darker appearance than the zinc cents. This is because the plating on the zinc cents is pure copper and the bronze cents are not pure copper and thus have a slight difference in color usually.
Pennies are supposed to be all copper through 1981. In 1982 some are and some are not, and after 1982 all are clad.CorrectionThe last 100%-copper cents were struck in 1857. Since then the composition of the cent has been changed many times, starting with a copper-nickel alloy from 1857 to 1864, then various varieties of bronze (95% copper), steel (1943), and eventually copper-plated (not clad) zinc beginning in mid-1982.
