That depends on the composition of the penny. US pennies made before 1982 are mostly copper, and thus melt at a temperature of about 1981 °F. Pennies made after 1982 are mostly zinc, and will melt at about 787 °F.

∙ 9y agoIt depends what metal you're melting. A good website that tells you a metal and its melting temperature is in the related links section below.
Examples in degrees celsius are;
Lead-327.5 C
Aluminium-660 C
Gold-550.5 C
Copper-1084 C
Nickel-1453 C
Iron-1535 C.

What temperature does lutetium metal melt at?
the melting point is 1652
What temperature does metal melt at in degrees Celsius?
500 degrees Celsius
What state is maganese at in room temperature?
The metal manganese is a solid at room temperature, and does not melt until 1250 degrees C.
At what temperature does h20 melt?
well it freezes at 0c or 32f so it will melt if subjected to a higher temperature
Can acid melt metal?
Don't confuse the process of melting, which is caused by heat, with the process of dissolving, which is caused by solvents such as acid. Acid can dissolve metal, but it does not melt metal.
What temperature does lutetium metal melt at?
the melting point is 1652
Why bulb filament does not burn at high temperature?
The metal will melt if you do that.
What metal melt at room temperature?
Between metals only Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
What temperature does metal melt at in degrees Celsius?
500 degrees Celsius
Does ice melt faster on metal or plastic?
assuming the same temperature metal is better at distributing energy so metal.
What metal can't melt at room temperature?
Between metals only mercury is liquid at room temperature.
What metal is not malleable at room temperature?
All metals melt at high temperature... the metal that doesn't melt is mercury as it is already liquid at room temperature..... There is no metal that undergoes sublimation unlike non-metals.
Can you melt a coin?
Yes. You can melt almost all metals. You just need to find the melting point (which is the temperature at which the metal melts).
What state is maganese at in room temperature?
The metal manganese is a solid at room temperature, and does not melt until 1250 degrees C.
What temperature is it when you melt metal?
Different metals melt at different temperatures, from -39 deg C (mercury) to 3414 deg C (tungsten).
What is the state of most metals at room temperature?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Francium, Cesium, Gallium, and Rubidium become liquids slightly above room temperature, meaning you could watch them melt in your hand! Every other metal, however, is a solid at room temperature.
What metal can get hot enough to glow but not melt?
all metal can melt
