    There have been countless "scientific facts" that were later proved to have not been scientific facts at all Thad.

    You trust your scientific facts, I'll trust what I see with my own eyes ;)

    Not too much time now, but let me say three things. The surface of a cent (oops, almost said penny) is not pure copper, it is copper oxide which is known to be a catalyst for OXIDATION reactions in which the copper oxide is REDUCED back to copper. Acetone is stored in cans or brown bottles which slow down or halt photochemical reactions. Acetone triperoxide is awesome, if you like explosions. Even in an open state, it is a powerful explosion. I worked on ketone peroxides for 5 years and still have all my digits.

    As I've told you a million times, what you witnessed was a copper coin with altered surfaces OR some crappy acetone was used. :)
