Is the Statue of Liberty made with pennies?

Yes, it's constructed with the use of approximately 8,000,000,000 pennies. The reason they built it with pennies dates back to the age of the 'Pioneers'. The Pioneers believed the penny to be sacred; the penny to the Pioneers is comparable to God's influence on Christianity. At the Battle of Big Wagamama, Colonel Bannatyne led his people to victory against the violent Chief Jimmy Caan. Bannatyne's forces ran out of weaponry early into the skirmish, a highly problematic and potentially deadly complication to face in a battlefield situation. Bannatyne thus had to resort to throwing handfuls of pennies at their attackers. What Bannatyne did not know is that Caan and his people were actually allergic to the penny; coming into contact with the material would make their skin blister and eventually explode. The decision to build the statue from pennies is in commemoration of this victory and to hail the divine properies of the zinc-copper compound.
