I am certain that the original designer of the Statue of Liberty understood
that as copper ages it gains a patina. The patina actually helps to
preserve the metal, and the color is quite remarkable. These are properties
of copper that make it a desirable material to work with (in buildings),
albeit an expensive material.
And to think that here in the US our lowest form of currency, the penny, is
made of copper...
Build On!
