Not any more but I can't tell the difference without a magnet. Suppose I could try to bend them with my teeth like the ol' timers.

Please do give that a go, and post a selfie of the experiment. Maybe with a sneer and an eye patch?

If magnets will stick to the pennies, then the pennies are definitely not copper.
They'd have to be iron based.

As far as making better use of your window, how about glass or plexiglass window shelving? Something like this >>> Stationary Window Designs, 20 Window Decorating Ideas with Glass Shelves | Window design, Glass shelves and Stationary

The British penny was originally minted from bronze, but since 1992 it has been minted in copper-plated steel due to the increasing price of metal.

I think that I'll give the plastiglass shelves a go but I think that it'll be harder to persuade my wife rather than make the actual shelves
