A penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building will kill you.
On Mythbusters, the scientists determined that a penny "traveling at terminal velocity cannot penetrate concrete or asphalt." It won't cause serious damage to a person, and even at the speed of sound, will still not damage flesh. At most, it could sting a little.
