No, a new penny and an old penny have the same mass (2.5 grams). The difference in appearance is due to wear and tear on the surface of the coin rather than a change in mass.
Yes, an old penny and a new penny have the same density because they are made of the same material, which is copper-plated zinc. Therefore, the density of both pennies remains constant regardless of their age.
No, new pennies minted after 1982 are made mostly of zinc with a thin copper coating. This change was made to reduce production costs because zinc is cheaper than copper.
You can change the density of an object by altering its mass or volume. Increasing the mass without changing the volume will increase the density, making the object less buoyant. Decreasing the volume without changing the mass will also increase density and make the object less buoyant.
An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons (same as a Helium nucleus) so when a nucleus ejects an alpha it will defintely have less mass. Also it will be a new element because it has two less protons.

Yes, pennies can gain mass over time due to oxidation and corrosion which can cause the surface to accumulate dirt and contaminants. This can make the penny weigh more without actually adding metal.
That will depend upon the pennies being weighed. Uncirculated copper pennies minted 1909 to 1982 (not including zinc 1943) are heavier than the new zinc pennies that started in 1983. Fifty pounds of the old copper pennies would be about $72.50. Fifty pounds of the new zinc pennies would be about $90.00.
You can use a metal polish to get pennies back to looking new.

There were 10.8 million 1952 New Zealand Pennies minted.

Such a thing does not exist. New Zealand did not mint it's own pennies until 1940. Any Pennies circulating in New Zealand prior to 1940 would have been mostly British Pennies and some Australian Pennies.
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "New Zealand" Pennies minted prior to 1940. Any Pennies circulating in New Zealand prior to 1940 would have been mostly British Pennies and some Australian Pennies.
