Is it true that if you dropped a penny off the empire state building it would kill somebody if it hit there head?

In: Empire State Building [Edit categories]

Answer:

While it is possible, the penny hits a terminal velocity and it is not really that dangerous. In most cases it would hurt a great deal, could cut the skin or leave a large welt, but it is not going to be fatal.
