Lol if pennies were made from pure copper, they'd be worth a lot more than what they are.

Costs about five cents to produce a penny.

Real copper pennies (1982or older) contain about 1.5cents of copper

Most manufactures use copper alloys which are harder and oxidize much less. We use EPA registered CuVerro alloys for our copper keyboards and copper mouse
