there's a website that showed you how to remove zinc from a copper
plated penny.

end result, all the zinc was gone and you got a very thin piece of
copper penny left over.

don't remember which acid they used.


It might have been an episode of Modern Marvels: Acid.

IIRC they demonstrated this and mentioned just how thin the cooper was
over the zinc.

I didn't see that one. must've missed that episode.
