Did Edward Laboule refer one of the statue of liberty as his lady?

Yes, National Treasure 2 was right, Edward Laboule did refer to one of the staues as his "lady". The sculpter of the statues, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, made a smaller, 35 foot version to use as a model for the larger version. This smaller lady liberty is roughly 1/10 of the size of her American sister and is made of bronze instead of copper. It was erected by Americans living in Paris and is located on the Isle De Grenelle facing in the direction of her American counterpart. There is another smaller "replica" located in the Jardins du Luxembourg (Luxenberg Gardens). It is said that Bartholdi, who built the statue with the assistance of Eiffel, used two models for the statue: his mom for the face of the statue and his girl-friend for the body.

Is the Statue of Liberty made with pennies?

Yes, it's constructed with the use of approximately 8,000,000,000 pennies. The reason they built it with pennies dates back to the age of the 'Pioneers'. The Pioneers believed the penny to be sacred; the penny to the Pioneers is comparable to God's influence on Christianity. At the Battle of Big Wagamama, Colonel Bannatyne led his people to victory against the violent Chief Jimmy Caan. Bannatyne's forces ran out of weaponry early into the skirmish, a highly problematic and potentially deadly complication to face in a battlefield situation. Bannatyne thus had to resort to throwing handfuls of pennies at their attackers. What Bannatyne did not know is that Caan and his people were actually allergic to the penny; coming into contact with the material would make their skin blister and eventually explode. The decision to build the statue from pennies is in commemoration of this victory and to hail the divine properies of the zinc-copper compound.
