   Why are copper coins called Browned off?

   • No one knows why 'brassed' was chosen either. Copper coins, which are of course brown, used to be known as 'brass' and there's a possible, if entirely speculative, link between 'browned' and 'brassed'. That link, even if it exists, doesn't go anywhere to explain the 'sad; bored' meaning. So, we know very little about 'browned off'.
