The modern penny utilizes an advance alloy developed by an 18th century metallurgical specialist. ~2.5% copper When asked, “why a mere 2%?” he responded, “2% milk taste like milk” -Ea Naşir

A meme shows three modern pennies labeled as using an advanced alloy developed by an 18th-century metallurgical specialist, followed by a statue of Ea Nasir delivering the joke that 2% milk tastes like milk. It humorously compares the low copper content of pennies to Ea Nasir’s famously poor-quality copper complaints, and is used as an absurd reaction to something being exactly as advertised.
