dc.descriptionThe Statue has been placed on the island so that it can be seen by all ships entering the harbor. The exterior of the Statue of Liberty is 3/32 thick which is equivalent to the thickness of two pennies. Originally, it was a dull copper color, but shortly after 1900 a green patina, also called verdigris, caused by the oxidation of the copper skin, began to spread. As early as 1902 it was mentioned in the press; by 1906 it had entirely covered the statue. Believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion, Congress authorized US $62,800 (equivalent to $2,045,000 in 2022) for various repairs, and to paint the statue both inside and out. There was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting and so the Statue has maintained its green color/
