When did the us stop making copper pennies?
They stopped making copper pennies in 1982. There are some 1982 pennies that are 95% copper and some that are not. 1983 pennies that are 95% exist but are rare and are collectors items.While the above statement would seem to be correct, it is, however, not completely true. The U.S. has never stopped making copper pennies, or pennies with some copper content, except in 1943, when they were made of a low-grade carbon steel and coated with zinc (having a grey color); this change was due to the need for copper and brass during World War II. These 1943 wartime pennies are commonly referred to as "steel" pennies. They contain NO copper...More correctly, 1982 was the last mint year for 95% copper cents. Since mid-1982, the newest (current, as of 2012) composition for U.S. one-cent coins ("pennies") has an inner core alloy of 99.2% zinc with 0.8% copper, with the coin balance as an outer plating of pure copper, for a total coin composition of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. These current pennies are commonly called "zinc pennies", due to their heavy-majority zinc content, even though they do still contain some copper. The composition of U.S. pennies from mid-1864 to mid-1982 was an alloy of 95% copper with either 5% tin-and-zinc ("bronze" pennies) or 5% zinc ("brass" pennies). Before that, the composition was an alloy of 88% copper with 12% nickel from mid-1857 to mid-1864 (the only time any U.S. pennies ever contained nickel), and, initially, from 1793 to mid-1857, the first U.S. pennies were made of pure (100%) copper.Since the first U.S. one-cent coins in 1793, U.S. pennies have always contained at least some copper, except, again, in the singular case of the year 1943, the so-called "steel" pennies.Therefore, the most correct answer to the question is either:(1) the U.S. has never stopped making copper pennies, except in 1943; or(2) 1943 is the only year the U.S. stopped making copper pennies, or any pennies with NO copper in them.Hope this helps!
Were there any silver dollars made between 1935?
The last true silver dollars were made in 1935. That year marked the end of 90% silver dollars. The next silver dollars were made in 1971. These were Eisenhower dollars. They are not made of silver but rather of copper and nickel.
What year was the first copper penny made in?
The first true copper penny issued by the US mint was minted in 1793, commonly called a "large cent" due to it's size. The first predominantly copper "small cent" was issued in 1864, after the 1856-1863 cents were a 88-12 copper-nickel alloy that gave them a nickel-like appearance. In 1982, the US mint began using a copper coated zinc alloy for pennies, ending the run of the solid copper penny.

When were US nickels not made out of nickel?
From mid-1942 to 1945, (World War II) composition nickels were created. These coins are 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese. These coins are usually a bit darker than regular nickels, said to be due to their manganese content (as was true of many British coins minted from 1920 through 1947) Fact: The only other U.S. coins to use manganese are the Sacagawea and presidential dollars.

Do the copper-bottom utensils made by Revere in the 1930s have any collector's or metal content value?
True "Reverware" is worth more than a no-name brand copper clad bottom pan. However, there is not much money in recycling those pans for metal content. They are excellent cookware and are worth keeping to cook with, but there is not much of a collectors market for them.
True or false the composition of a penny is 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper?
True and False. If the coin is dated 1983 and newer, it is indeed 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. However, if it is dated 1981 and earlier, then it is 95% copper. During 1982, the US Government decided that pennies were too expensive to make with so much copper. So they decided to use zinc, with is strong and also cheaper. These newer pennies are only coated with copper. One can easily decide the content by its weight. The newer zinc pennies weigh only 2.50 grams, whereas the older copper-rich pennies weigh 3.11 grams.
Copper can be obtained from its ores by smelting true or false?
True. Copper can be obtained from its ores by smelting, a process that involves heating the ore in a furnace to extract the metal.
Is it true the formula for copper you oxide is CuËÃO?
the answer is Cu2O
distinguish the true and false copper core?
It can be burned with fire. If it can withstand high temperature, it must be real copper.
True or False coaxial cable has a single copper wire down the middle and a braided shield around it?
True.
Useful amounts of copper can be isolated during a process called electrolysis true or false?
True. Copper can be isolated in useful amounts during electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through a solution containing copper ions, causing them to deposit on the cathode. This process is commonly used in industries to extract and purify copper.
Is it true that only people have blood group o can dowsing the water in the ground by copper wire?
It is not true...
When was The Last of the True Believers created?

Is the sentence true or false the fact that copper wire can be bent shows that some solids do not have a definite shape?
False. The ability of copper wire to be bent does not necessarily indicate that some solids do not have a definite shape. Solids, including copper, have a definite shape but can still be flexible or malleable under certain conditions.
