The Mars rover Curiosity is carrying a 1909 penny as a scale for size.

In case the rover encounters some Martians, what's the exchange rate?

I would be curious to see a recent image as well.
It would be cool to see images showing the coin acquiring a Martian patina but I suppse those NASA folks are too busy doing science or some such thing.

Did some one find my piggy bank?

Hi All,

Yes and yes - old subject.

But, give it some time and Skyman will have this in his collection as well and it won't be the first coin/space combo for him I bet.

Ok so if this cent ever gets recovered, will it be considered AT'ed (Alien Toned) ?

Maybe MT (Martian Toned)

Women are from Mars and Venus. We men are grounded here on Earth, it's Penny who's away.

The trace methane in the Martian atmosphere may have some effect on the copper.... Cheers, RickO

It would be really cool if the cent would disappear without a video or photo of how it disappeared.

If that picture of the cent is its true current color, I wonder if the methane speculation is the answer?

And yet it still takes better coin pics than I do.

I would bet this cent was cleaned prior to the trip.
