You know, when you picture the Statue of Liberty, what color immediately pops into your head? Green, right? That majestic, sea-foam green that makes her stand out against the New York skyline. But here&rsquo;s a little secret that might make you say, &ldquo;Wait, really?!&rdquo; Lady Liberty wasn&rsquo;t actually born green!</p> <p>When France gifted her to the United States back in 1886, she was a completely different sight. Imagine her not in her familiar green, but in a gleaming, reddish-brown, like a giant, shiny penny! That&rsquo;s because she&rsquo;s made almost entirely of copper – over 60,000 pounds of it, hammered into thin sheets and attached to an iron framework. Pretty cool, huh?</p>
