I believe I've read where the Yank mint has changed the metals used in your coinage over time. If I remember correctly (always a dicey proposition) the newer penny has Zinc in it. The older penny is pure copper.

Ghastly, the things the government does to money, isn't it?

Um, if ya couldn't figure out that the more yellow penny is from 1963 and the other, more orange penny is from 1999 and are still asking why do they look so much different... :roll:

I wouldn't be shocked if someone's been counterfeiting pennies just "for the lulz" so to speak.

alright, but the statue of liberty was built b4 the 1960's!

Trust me if that penny was exposed to the eliments and lasts as long as the statue does itll turn green as well!

I believe you're looking for the chemical reaction that creates verdigris. Check Wiki.

No need to thank me, a good deed is it's own reward, as they say ...
