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...

Does anyone think that this model of the statue coming out in the green
color rather strange given that after it's restoration, the Statue of
Liberty is now the color of new untarnished copper?

I know it's rather strange, but if the original designer's intention was • for
it to be a copper colored statue, perhaps TLG should have released it in
that color instead.  :-)
