Copper doesn't turn your skin green. You might think it does because the statue of liberty use to be copper, but it is now green. The statue of liberty turned green because of the chemical change. The metal rusted. Your skin can't actually turn green, you know. (unless you are copper and you rust)

Copper doesn't make your skin turn green.
You either have an allergy to the metal, which makes your skin react.
OR it is the oxidation of copper that is rubbing off on your skin. Oxidation is what makes the statue of liberty green, what makes pennies corrode and turn green, it's just rubbing off on your skin.

It contains sulfur, which when reacting to the copper, actually turns green - which rubs off on your skin. The same thing has happend to the Statue of Liberty.

Its a government conspiracy to buy more jewelry and make men broke trying to please women.
