I have a steel penny but the year is wrong. Steel was temporarily used in place of copper in 1943, the US desperately needed copper for the war effort. I have a shiny silvery penny dated 1974.

Sparklers are very different from firecrackers. A sparkler burns over a long period of time (up to a minute) and produces extremely bright and showery light. Sparklers are often referred to as snowball sparklers because of the ball of sparks that surrounds the burning portion of the sparkler.he fuel is charcoal and sulfur, as in black powder. The binder can be sugar or starch. Mixed with water, these chemicals form a slurry that can be coated on a wire (by dipping) or poured into a tube. Once it dries, you have a sparkler. When you light it, the sparkler burns from one end to the other (like a cigarette).
