Default Safety of Copper Pipes?

Just theorizing, though. I know most places that have fish in their fountains now have
signs asking that pennies (or any coin) not be thrown in the water. I would assume this to
be the reason.


Pennies in the last decade or so have been made of copper plated zinc.

Neither is safe for fish.
