<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3110517, member: 85693&quot;]So I had a mediocre day at work today, at best, so I accidentally stopped at one of my favorite watering holes to take the edge off.&nbsp; After taking the edge off (four, maybe five pints - who&#039;s counting?) and paying my bill, I got my change, in which was included a single US 2016 penny, covered in what looks to me like a really bad case of Bronze Disease. </p><p><br /></p><p>I happened to be carrying around a couple of recent purchases - a Gordian III sestertius and a pretty Faustina II as today, so I was alarmed.&nbsp; It was like I got a plateful of plague.&nbsp; (And this justifies my posting this in the Ancient Forum). </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t think there was anything &quot;bronze&quot; about a 2016 penny.&nbsp; I also thought BD took a gazillion years to form.&nbsp; Huh! </p><p><br /></p><p>After carrying it home in quarantine in my shirt pocket, I left it out on the porch to see what happens to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]789226[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]789227[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
