I was thinking that copper is used to make the full metal jacket on
bullets, I suppose copper in that form can be quite toxic along with the
lead component of the bullet? O_o

I've never seen a duck die from lead poisoning. Gun shot, sure.

What about real copper pennies from years ago? Folks never became sick
from handling them.


I can imagine a few pets or even children becoming very sick or even
dying from ingesting the coins. O_o

Because of toxicity?


Probably intestinal blockage or tearing before toxicity. ^_^
