Lucky Penny Card + How to Shine Pennies

Last week we shared our Lucky Penny bookmarks, and today we wanted to share a bit more about how to shine up those pennies. we also made these cute little cards for giving out your lucky pennies.

On RaisingArizonaKids.com we shared how to get really old pennies to shine using salt and vinegar, but here’s a trick that will work for newer pennies. After 1982, pennies were made with zinc, not copper, and if you simply rub these more recent pennies with an eraser you will make them shine like new!
