Make a hollow penny, or two slices of penny-shell foil!
    #7144821 -

Since pennies are copper plating over a shell of a much more reactive metal, you can expose the inner metal, submerge in acid, and leave only the copper!

(the all-zinc penny in the center required the skills of a chemist and a lot of cyanide)

I've been doing that for a long time. Sand one edge of a penny, throw in some vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. H2O2 catalyzes the reaction. If you have HCl, it'll go a lot faster. Pennies prior to 1965(?) are mostly copper so they won't work. They end up turning the solution blue, which I assume is Copper (II) acetate.

as an added bonus, it costs slightly more to make a penny than a penny is worth! you're taking money out of war spending every time you destroy one.

fuck you federal government!

The reaction also releases a small amount of hydrogen gas, maybe try that with 30 pennies and collect the gas in a baloon. It makes for a big boom.

Money is the only thing people usually dont'g get mad at you if you litter it.

That's pretty neat though!

Dip a needle in some 30% H2O2 and poke the baloon with it :evil:

With a mechanism, ofcourse. At close distance, a balloon full of hydrogen can rupture ear drums.

Meh, I'd just put the thing on the end of a meterstick with some foam earplugs in.

I'm sure that TOOL concert in LA did more damage than I'd get from the explosive luftballon

Yes, definately be careful if you do this. I suggest tying a long string to the balloon and let it float to the ceiling, light the string and back away.
