Also, new pennies (after 1982) are 97.6% zinc and 2.4% copper, just enough copper to make them copper colored so the average person is not aware of this debasing of coins were suppose to have an intrinsic value.
They could be used as a supplement as well if dissolved into an acid. However swallowing pennies directly can cause an ulcer due to too much zinc ( see http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/19981030165915data_trunc_sys.shtml ). The 2.4% copper can be toxic if too much is taken, but trace amounts of copper are needed by the body as well. It might be worthwhile figuring out what common items can be used as supplements. Once they are not available, the next focus may be on this type of information.
