what is the thickness of a penny?
153406
1.27 mm - 1.55 mm (or .05 inches) for the thickness.

Let's see.\n\nTwo dimes and one nickel\nOne dime and three nickels\nFive nickels.\n\nYou can have five pennies in place of one nickel in any of the above sitiuations.\n\nSo you could have:\n\nTwo dimes and five pennies\nOne dime and two nickels and five pennies\nFour nickels and five pennies.\n\nBut once again, you can have five pennies in place of one nickel in any of the above sitiuations. (Now, D = dime, N = nickel, P = penny)\n\n1D, 1N, 10 P\n3N, 10P\n\nOne more time\n\n1D, 15P\n2N, 15P\n\nAnd again:\n\n1N, 20P\n\nOne last time\n\n25P\n\nI count 12 ways.

Following is a brief chronology of the metal composition of the cent coin (penny):\n\n    * The composition was pure copper from 1793 to 1837.\n    * From 1837 to 1857, the cent was made of bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc).\n    * From 1857, the cent was 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, giving the coin a whitish appearance.\n    * The cent was again bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc) from 1864 to 1962.\n      (Note: In 1943, the coin's composition was changed to zinc-coated steel.  This change was only for the year 1943 and was due to the critical use of copper for the war effort.  However, a limited number of copper pennies were minted that year.  You can read more about the rare, collectible 1943 copper penny in "What's So Special about the 1943 Copper Penny.")\n    * In 1962, the cent's tin content, which was quite small, was removed.  That made the metal composition of the cent 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc.\n    * The alloy remained 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc until 1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper (copper-plated zinc).  Cents of both compositions appeared in that year.

that is good but what about thickness? :)

About 0.1 microns.  This would be about 0.000394 inches.

If you take seven pennies and lay them out flat, then bunch them up, you will see that with one penny at the center, exactly six pennies will fit around it.  In the case of bubbles, if you have several bubbles of the same size, they will natural fall into a position that allows them to fit most tightly together.  Bubbles on top layers will either pop or fall into gaps, and this will continue until the tightest packing is acheived.  For round bubbles, this will be the sort I described.  Put a whole bunch of pennies flat on the counter, and pack them as near together as possible without over-lapping--you'll eventually find that every penny (except those on the edge) is touching six other pennies.\n\nNow with bubbles, the sides of each bubble will merge with that of those it touches in order to reduce surface tension (a thermodynamically unfavorable association between different phases, like water and air in this case).  That merging means that while each bubble will be touching six others, the sides will all be flat.  Now each of your bubbles represents a packed hexagonal structure.

1 mil is 1/1000 of an inch.\nSo if something had a thickness of 1 mill, if you had 1000 of them stacked together, it would have a thickness of 1 inch.

In short, the reason why a penny costs more than a penny to make is inflation.  While the cost of copper continues to rise, the value of a penny continues to decline.  The same holds true right now for a nickel.  In the future, it might well hold true for a dime, but not yet.

Pennies were made of copper, a reddish metal, while other coins were made of nickle or silver (silvery metal).\n\nFollowing is a brief chronology of the metal composition of the cent coin (penny):\n\nThe composition was pure copper from 1793 to 1837. \nFrom 1837 to 1857, the cent was made of bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc).  From 1857, the cent was 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, giving the coin a whitish appearance.  The cent was again bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc) from 1864 to 1962.

Take a piece of foil like aluminum foil and fold it over once, then again, and again, and again, and once more (5 times). Press it flat each time, or cut off the folded end .  You should then be able to measure this stack with a ruler, and divide by 32 (that is 2^5) to get the thickness of the foil.
