===Poisoning===
In 1982, the [[United States Mint|US Mint]] began minting [[Cent (United States coin)|pennies]] coated in copper but containing primarily zinc. Zinc pennies pose a risk of zinc toxicosis, which can be fatal. One reported case of chronic ingestion of 425 pennies (over 1 kg of zinc) resulted in death due to gastrointestinal bacterial and fungal [[sepsis]]. Another patient who ingested 12 grams of zinc showed only [[lethargy]] and [[ataxia]] (gross lack of coordination of muscle movements). Several other cases have been reported of humans suffering zinc intoxication by the ingestion of zinc coins.
