If you drop a penny from a very high place say, the Burj Kalifa from Dubai, would it hurt someone walking below, yes, no, kinda?
Well, there is something called terminal velocity, it is basically a speed-cap, like for to stop something from exceeding a certain speed, since the penny falls then it displaces air, like pushing your hand out the car window while it is moving forward, you will feel a wind blowing your hand back, right? same thing here.
The wind or terminal velocity, is stopping the penny from getting too fast, although it will act like a bullet, it will still hurt but not like being shot.
