    It's probably a copper plated cent. The owner should check it with a magnet.

    No, it's not copper (or steel), it's Mercury! Even rarer!

    Penultimate - great word! I did not know this word (don't think I ever ran across it) until the evening before the GRE (many moons ago). I thought I should look it up just in case it showed up on the exam. Sure enough, penultimate was one of the words for which we were asked the meaning. BINGO. I rarely use the word, but by-GOD I know what it means. image
