A neat experiment you can do at home with off-the-shelf Muriatic acid.Muriatic acid contains Hydrochloric acid, which reacts with the zinc inside a modern penny.After the acid eats away all the zinc, all that's left is a copper shell only one thousandth of an inch thick!You can use this penny shell for an old but simple magic trick where you hide a dime inside it.

      By zloyshaman 1187738173
    • Will drilling

      a small hole in the penny give you a hollow penny? The acid need only to contact the zinc?

      By pitttbullll 1187822849
    • Yes

      But it would take a lot longer to work, of course.

      By NK5 1187824668
  • ok...

    By hersheymagic2 1187734551

    • Be safe

      Use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to neutralize the acid.

      By slysix 1187766475

      use sodium hydroxide

    What has become of our money? Hmmm, a thin veneer of a monetary system, based on false promises and empty realities. Thanks Federal Reserve, for raping our Republic. Vote for Ron Paul, who will throw these bastards out and replace our currency with real copper pennies and not copper veneers. Great video!!!

    I imagine instead of filing down one side, you scratch a small circle to expose zinc inside would also work?
