This sounds like a very expensive project. Have you considered the cost?
I was just thinking about the samething, all the time and effort went into this...
I would imagine it will be easier to pick up an used card from ebay instead.
BUT, it's an interesting story...that's for sure.
Should I even bother trying to find a real copper penny? I'm getting 71C load temps which is tolerable for me. Wonder how much lower it will get had it been a real copper.
10-15C ? Sanding paper isn't that hard to get and if you want to lap your penny to sufficient flatness 120-400 grit will do just fine. You can find sandpaper of those grits in any Home Depot store.

Quarter is nickel and I dont have a silver dollar.
awesome dude! where are the pics?
Really dude? Old quarters are silver (and new quarters in Silver Proof Sets). You can come across silver quarters every so often or buy one for like a buck. Silver would do a better job than copper.
Well Copper's Thermal conductivity is 400 W/mK while Silver is 429 W/mK. Not much of a difference except copper is cheaper to come by. Maybe someday I'll try using diamonds, it has the highest thermal conductivity at 2,300 W/mK!
