Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) is a piezoelectric material that exhibits a change in electrical polarization when subjected to mechanical stress. While PZT can generate an electric field when applied to a material like copper, it's unlikely to create a strong enough field to repel a needle by 90%. Repelling a needle would require a significant magnetic force, which is not primarily generated by piezoelectric materials. Additionally, applying chemicals to copper coins to repel needles would likely involve corrosion and surface modification, potentially making the coins unsafe or damaging them. It's crucial to remember that any experiment involving chemicals should be conducted with proper safety precautions and under the guidance of a qualified chemist.
