God damn, I really CAN'T contribute, interject, or otherwise be a part of ANY FUCKING THING one would consider "normal" without getting flamed, questioned, criticized, or spit on, can I?? And we wonder why there's mass shootings in this country every other day. Maybe it's because you're all assholes that drain the life out of anything meaningful and are content with just watching it all burn

All U.S. pennies (1-cent pieces) minted since 1982 weigh either 2.5 grams (0.088 ounces) or 3.11 grams (0.109). The 2.5 grams Lincoln Penny is composed of brass (95% copper, 5% zinc), while the 3.11 grams Union Shield is composed of copper-plated zinc (97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper). All current U.S. pennies have a diameter of 19.05 mm, a thickness of 1.52 mm, and are composed primarily of zinc (97.5%) with a copper plating (2.5%).
