Other widely used zinc alloys include [[nickel silver]], typewriter metal, soft and aluminium [[solder]], and commercial [[bronze]]. Zinc is also used in contemporary pipe organs as a substitute for the traditional lead/tin alloy in pipes. Alloys of 85–88% zinc, 4–10% copper, and 2–8% aluminium find limited use in certain types of machine bearings. Zinc has been the primary metal in [[Lincoln cent|American one cent coins]] (pennies) since 1982. The zinc core is coated with a thin layer of copper to give the appearance of a copper coin. In 1994, {{convert|33200|t|ST}} of zinc were used to produce 13.6&nbsp;billion pennies in the United States.</div>FuzzyBot
