This document provides instructions for making a hollow penny through a chemical reaction. It explains that filing or cutting a post-1982 penny exposes the zinc interior, which then reacts with hydrochloric acid while the outer copper layer remains intact. Specifically, it outlines: 1) Scoring the edge of pennies with a file or sandpaper to expose the zinc interior. 2) Placing the pennies in hydrochloric acid for 6 hours, during which the zinc dissolves, leaving a hollow copper shell. 3) Rinsing the pennies and adding baking soda to neutralize residual acid, resulting in fragile hollow copper pennies.
