To my knowledge, a penny is not a chemical change. No, I think it is instead a coin; a unit of currency, mostly made from zinc and plated with copper. Nothing I'm describing has anything to do with chemical changes.
Cleaning a penny with vinegar and salt is a chemical change. The vinegar (acetic acid) reacts with the salt (sodium chloride) to form a chemical compound that removes the tarnish on the copper surface of the penny. This reaction changes the composition of the penny's surface, making it appear shiny and clean.
Chemical, since it doesn't turn back.
Physical change
this is my homework just give the answer already!
Yes, the darkening of a copper penny is a chemical change. When copper is exposed to air and moisture, it reacts with oxygen and carbon dioxide, leading to the formation of copper oxide and other compounds that give the penny a darker appearance. This process alters the chemical composition of the copper, indicating a chemical change rather than a physical one.

Chemical.
Putting a penny in lemon juice would cause a chemical change because the lemon juice reacts with the copper in the penny to create copper oxide, which changes the chemical composition of the penny.

Removing tarnish from a penny with salt and vinegar is a chemical change. The reaction between the salt, vinegar, and tarnish on the penny results in the formation of new substances that remove the tarnish.
Corroding
chemical, because when a penny is tarnished its a chemical change because, its weathered down its destroyed. The tarnish itself is usually either the oxide and/or sulfide of the underlying metal.
Coke or sprite will change the color of a penny.
It is a physical change, because it does not change in substance. A penny, whether in its normal state or flattened, is still a penny. Similarly, if you drop a watermelon and it breaks apart, that is also considered to be a physical change because it is still a watermelon. Things are considered to be chemical changes when the substance changes into something new, and is commonly classified as irreversible. When an object rusts, it is considered to be a chemical change. Chemical changes are associated with a temperature change, or a color change or bubbling or something of the sort. Physical changes deal with physical changes in state, for example, ice melting, or in the example you provided, a penny being flattened.
