You know pennies are made from zinc...right?
97.5% Zinc, 2.5% copper (plating).

And even then, pennies are worth 1.75 cents to 2 cents per penny.

If they were made from pure copper, they would be worth probably closer to about 5 cents.
Also, when it comes to copper cookware you're paying for labor and manufacturing overhead, not just the pure metal cost of copper.

Yeah only downside being that it's tinned interior, so it needs re-tinning every so often, which isn't super cheap.
Similar to this big boi on the back of the stove in this pic, tinned interior that cost almost $400 to get retinned and cleaned up (I got it in pretty bad condition)

Lmao how is tin any better?

Stainless is perfectly fine for pretty much anything you'd regularly be using copper for.

I do own some vintage copper that is tin lined, and it's a proper pain in the fucking ass when it needs to be re-tinned, you're either dealing with shitty re-tinning done cheap, or you're sending it out to a specialist and getting charged out the ass for restoration on an antique.

0.2mm of stainless steel is used because stainless steel is a fucking GARBAGE tier conductor. It's only used to protect the copper and to be used as a cooking surface.
If you get rid of the 2mm of copper on the outside, it loses all of it's thermal performance, so why the fuck would I just use stainless steel?


People don't use copper with tin lining due to the tin, it's because of the copper dumbass. The same holds true when the lining is stainless instead of tin.
