Copper coating is broken through allowing the zinc to corrode away

Not erosion, but corrosion.

Yup!!!!!!!!!!
Hoard the keys.
Cool now I know! Thanks
Date in title doesn't match date on coin, unless that's corrosion too.
Yep. Didn't notice that lmao wrong date in title
Looks as if it has been in the ground a while.... a dug coin.... as above, copper worn and zinc corroding... Cheers, RickO
good old zinc.
That is scary - almost like it is disintegrating from within.
Self destructing money. I don't think money is a debt instrument, otherwise that is a great way to avoid having to make good on the debt the government is racking up. They should return to the days of unregistered bearer bonds, and then make them out of zinc. The feds could then issue all the treasury binds and notes it wanted, knowing that they would eventually rot away and be unredeemable.
