Has anyone ever heard of; or does this?

I was watching a Youtube video and they mentioned putting an older penny in their reptiles water bowls.

1981 and older pennies were made of 95 % copper , 5 % zinc.

Because it's so heavily made of copper. That they would be good for their anti bacterial / anti microbial properties in maintaining clean water bowls.
