    can u do this with multiple pennies instead of doing it 1 by 1?

  • How it works

    Silver: Some of the zinc dissolves in the hydrochloric acid and is deposited on the surface of the copper (I forget which process).

    Gold: Upon heating, the zinc and copper both melt and mix together making brass, which is golden in color.

    My friend and I found a penny like this and we want to try it! We're having trouble finding the chemicals. Do you have any suggestions?

    • Chemicals

      For the lye, go to any place that sells drain cleaners (hardware store).

      For the zinc, ebay, chemical supply warehouse (phonebook), grind up a zinc nail, grind up another post 1982 penny, or grind off the copper on the edge of the penny (takes longer and the "gold" won't be in the scratched area.
