<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2729853, member: 69760&quot;]It&#039;s a copper coated steel penny used in the film.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a scene where the penny moves upwards by itself (Swayze&#039;s ghost character moves it up). This is done by a magnet on the other side. It&#039;s copper coated for three reasons, 1) to resonate with the audience since steel pennies may not necessarily be known by some or most of the audience, 2) to not dissuade Demi Moore&#039;s character who would know that steel is magnetic, and 3) to actually pull off the actual levitation against the wall scene. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if Moore&#039;s character knew about that the 1943 penny was composed of steel, then she&#039;d think that Whoopi Goldberg&#039;s character is messing with her, but for the purposes of the film, that detail is ignored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
