      So the answer to your other question is “Yes!” The Statue of Liberty is also green because it’s made of copper. It was metallic when it was first installed in 1886, but had turned fully green within 20 years.

        And just for the record, they fully expected it to happen and knew the old lady would look good in verdigris.
