Penny Nickel Dime Quarter
Nowadays, a penny is made of 97.6% zinc and 2.4% copper. The composition of a penny has changed over the years. In 1091, when the first Lincoln cent was produced, the penny was made of pure copper. But because of a copper shortage during World War II, in 1943 the penny was made of zinc coated steel. Then it was made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. It is made of cupronickel. It is larger than a nickel. It is about the same size as an Indian 50 paise coin. It has George Washington on the front and either a United States emblem or a design of one of the 50 states on the back. In the case of a dime, ten pennies can match a dime or 2 nickels can match a dime. Similarly, for a quarter, the match can be 2 dimes and a nickel, or 5 nickels. In the case of a half dollar, the matching card would read, 5 dimes or 2 quarters or ten nickels. Result of this task: Helps sharpen memory as well as establishes the relation between.
