you'd think. Because your body ... it’s not all 
one piece. There are lots of parts. So many 
little pieces... No. I’m not talking anymore 
about this. God. If | never see another penny

Test 1015-01 

Subject: Lab Assistant Trevor (7 hours after 
exposure to SCP-1015-1) 

Test: Subject asked to strip, then hold still while 
researchers touched round plastic tokens to various 
parts of subject's body. One set of tokens measured 

2 cm diameter and 4 mm thickness. Another set of 
tokens measured 2 cm diameter and .5 mm thickness. 
Results: Tokens with thickness of .5 mm were 
unaffected. Results varied for tokens with 4 mm 
thickness. 

Skin: token transmuted into 1 penny 

Hair: no result 

Teeth: token transmuted into 1 penny 

Eye: token transmuted into 1 penny 

Fingernails: no result 

Toenails: no result 

Tongue: token transmuted into 2 pennies 

Note: Subsequent tests with the tokens on tissues that 
previously yielded 1 penny then yielded 2 pennies. We 
believe this is because of the progression of

SCP-1015-1's anomalous effects. 


Test 1015-02 

Subject: Lab Assistant Trevor (10 hours after 
exposure to SCP-1015-1), D-1015-01 

Test: told to place SCP-1015-1 carefully in the hand 
of D-1015-01, then withdraw hand and immediately 
touch plastic token. 

Results: Token transmuted into two pennies despite 
absence of SCP-1015-1 on __'s person. SCP-1015-1 
vanished from D-1015-01's hand in 3.5 seconds. 
located SCP-1015-1 in left sock. 


Test 1015-03 

Subject: Lab Assistant Trevor (10.5 hours after 
exposure to SCP-1015-1), D-1015-01 

Test: told to place SCP-1015-1 on table and turn 
away while D-1015-01 picked item up 

Results: SCP-1015-1 vanished from D-1015-01's hand 
in 3 seconds. located SCP-1015-1 inside own 
jumpsuit. 


Test 1015-04 

Subject: Lab Assistant Trevor (10.5 hours after 
exposure to SCP-1015-1), D-1015-01 

Test: told to strip naked, place SCP-1015-1 on table, 
and turn away while D-1015-01 picked item up 
Results: SCP-1015-1 vanished from D-1015-01’s hand 
in 4 seconds. Unable to be located for several minutes, 
until expressed significant discomfort in [DATA 
EXPUNGED] vanished from toilet bowl in 3.5 seconds 
and was locatedin __’s right sock. 

Note: May | add, it’s a good thing he thought to put that 
sock back on before [DATA EXPUNGED] again. 


Test 1015-05 

Subject: (11.5 hours after exposure to SCP-1015-1), 
D-1015-01 

Test: D-1015-01 became agitated, demanding he be 
released, reunited with his brother (Larry Sorkin, whom 
subject was unaware was killed during item recovery), 


and allowed to keep “our penny.” Quickly attacked __, 
fracturing _’s nose, right orbital bone and right 
cheekbone, and knocking several teeth loose, rendering 
him unconscious. D-1015-01 then retrieved SCP-1015-1 
from __'s hand. 

Results: SCP-1015-1 remained in D-1015-01’s 
possession. ceased causing transmutation. 

Note: That wasn’t a test! He just beat the out of me 
while you recorded it! 

Note: Welcome back, Trevor. Sorry about the face. 


Test 1015-06 

Subject: D-1015-01 

Test: Subject refused further cooperation and was 
terminated with one gunshot to head. All present 
instructed not to interact with SCP-1015-1. 

Results: SCP-1015-1 remained inert where dropped on 
floor, even after removal of subject’s body from room. 
Body did not cause transmutation. 


Test 1015-07 

Subject: D-1015-02 

Test: Subject instructed to pick up SCP-1015-1 from 
floor where dropped in previous test. Subject confirmed 
“ownership” of item by transmuting one plastic token 
approximately 1 hour later. Subject was then isolated for 
2 weeks in a room lined with a layer of paper, beneath a 
layer of cellophane, beneath a layer of rubber 
approximately .5 mm thick 

Results: Layers remained unaffected. 


Test 1015-08 

Subject: D-1015-02 (1 week after exposure to 
SCP-1015-1), D-1015-03 

Test: D-1015-02 instructed to touch various objects in 
order to establish boundaries for transmutation effect. 
Results: Varied 

Block of solid oak wood: Block transmuted entirely to 
pennies 

Glass brick: Glass transmuted entirely to pennies 


Drinking glass (round, 10 cm diameter, 2.5 mm 
thickness): No result 

note: A good rule of thumb seems to be that the matter 
to be converted or replaced must be able to contain a 
penny in the 3-dimensional space the original item 
occupies. i.e., the glass was too curved in this case. 
Water (in glass): No result. 

note: / think it’s obvious we don’t have to test gasses. 
Wet sponge: Sponge transmuted. Volume taken up by 
pennies slightly less than exterior volume of sponge. 
Pennies wet and resting in puddle. 

Block of wood coated in fresh paint: Block transmuted; 
pennies sitting in puddle of wet paint, some splashed 
with paint. 

Block of wood coated in dried paint: Block transmuted; 
no paint remaining. 

Block of wood with old, peeling paint: Block transmuted; 
some paint chips remaining. 

Dining room table with leaf installed: Section of tabletop 
that was touched transmuted entirely to pennies. All 
other components of table (leaf, other tabletop section, 
legs, molding around tabletop that was nailed in place, 
nails and other metal fixings) unaffected. 

Two blocks of wood adhered together using brand 
glue: Block touched was transmuted; other block 
unaffected. 

Block of ice 4 m3: Block transmuted. Some pennies wet, 
and puddle discovered after pennies were cleared out of 
room via industrial vacuum. 

D-1015-03 (naked, restrained to an upright dolly): Entire 
epidermis and dermis transmuted to pennies, along with 
portions of hypodermis. Larger nerve fibers and blood 
vessels remained unaffected. Pennies landed on floor in 
puddle of various bodily fluids and body hair. 

note: D-1015-02, who was initially reluctant to touch 
D-1015-03 for the test, reacted violently to results, 
immediately attempting [DATA EXPUNGED] finally 
causing death by brain collapse. D-1015-02 then 
attempted to attack Agent , who terminated him 
with sidearm before physical contact was made. (Please 


let’s never do this again.) 


Addendum 1015-02: Research originally suggested that pennies 
created by SCP-1015 had no anomalous properties. It is now known 
that at an as-of-yet unidentified percentage of pennies created this 
way exhibit the anomalous effects of SCP-1015-1. 


On // , police found the body of , a department of public 
works employee who had assisted in the clean-up of the house fire 
where SCP-1015-1 was recovered, and who had subsequently not 
returned to work for more than a week. had died of a self- 
inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Much of the home’s furniture 
and architectural features were reported to be missing, with a large 
quantity of pennies found around the house, as well as blood and 
other bodily fluids smeared on the walls and floor. ’s wife and 
infant daughter were never found. Foundation Agents recovered one 
instance of SCP-1015-1 on site. Further instances are to be 
contained by making use of D-Class personnel to avoid inadvertent 
ownership of SCP-1015-1 by Foundation personnel.
