Every student at the horseshoing school was taught to do a copper brazing project,,in the same coal forge that had been used for thirty years, and the same forges were used for forge welding. Not a Problem.

US pennies are copper coated zinc since around 1984; older ones are mainly copper but not pure copper.

I do not know about Canadian, UK, HongKong, Australian, etc pennies

The zinc ones make nice item to juice up a brass pour that has been burning off it's zinc right before a pour though.

Copper electrical wire is a good source of material for forge brazing - it works well for me, both with the torch and in the forge. I also forge weld in the same forge. Flux with borax.
