Not really, no.
The current copper clad zinc penny makes a fantastic (and dangerous) shorted cell battery, causing rapid boiling of its electrolyte! Don't let your toddlers swallow these pennies unless you like the idea of having them cook their stomach!
An old copper penny and an old silver dime used to be recommended for making experimental cells, but the modern ones don't work well.

Would two magnesium electrodes make a good wet cell that produces a lot of voltage why or why not?
No, because they are the same conductor and do not make a "ramp" for the electrodes to move along. They need to be different in order to make the electrodes move.

Is it possible to light a bulb with raw peanuts?
Yes and no. If the peanuts are moist, not dried, they will act an electrolyte between two dissimilar metal electrodes - zinc and copper for instance - and form a cell that would power a low-volt lamp. The peanuts would be best if ground into a paste to ensure good contact and a continuous path between electrodes. The is also possible with something like a whole apple or potato as well, just push the electrodes in, but what is really powering the lamp are the chemical reactions at the electrodes.
Why would a good alternator not charge a battery?
If the alternator is good and the battery does not charge, then the battery may be bad. There could be problem with the electronics. You will need to take it to a place where they sell batteries. They have equipment to check out the battery and the wiring.

A handbook on coins is a good guideline but all coin collectors say that a coin is only worth what someone would pay for it.
How do you find out old coins worth?
Take them to a coin dealer for an appraisal. It would be a good idea to borrow a price guide (the Blackbook or Guide to US Coins for US coins) from the library and try to separate the 'good stuff' from the 'junk' first.
