The Statue of Liberty is made of pure copper hung on a framework of steel, which was originally puddled iron. Her flame above the torch is coated in gold leaf, which was originally made of copper and later altered to hold glass panes.

The copper is 3/32 of an inch thick, that's just a bit thinner than two pennies.

The copper's green color is a layer of patina that forms with age (extended periods of oxidization). Like a really old penny would appear if not stored properly. The color of the Statue of Liberty before patination was a shiny reddish brown color.

Why is the statue of liberty called a symbol for America?

It was built by the French, and presented to the American people. On that basis, it was probably intended as a neat manoeuvre against the British, to remind them that they no longer had sovereignty there, and making a visible reminder of the fact to every British ship that sailed into New York.

Rude gestures, and oneupmanship are typical behaviour between the British and French, and has been so for nearly a thousand years. The French supplied ships and ammunition to the colonial rebels, not because of the rightness of their cause particularly but to get back at the British for taking Canada off them.
