I'm going to say incorrect. :o But I worded it poorly. I probably should have said, "It it hit someone, it would kill them." or something to that effect.

 

Here's what I say,

 

It would speed up to a point where its weight equals the resistance of the air and would not gain any speed after that and the penny would also tumble while it fell, slowing it further. There's also updrafts along the sides of buildings. Those would slow it down even more.

 

Even not factoring in the tumbling and wind resistance, the terminal velocity alone should make it not enough to kill someone.

Well, you might be right. After a certain point the speed would remain the same and the velocity would not speed up but you never know... given the right circumstance or it it was a very small child whose skull was not quite formed it might kill them..

I have a little girl so I kind of hate to think about that but for a few months the back of the skull is very thin and acceptable to injury.
