EmmaThe U.S. Mint stopped making pennies with a majority copper composition in 1982.
While copper pennies were the norm for much of U.S. history, the rising price of copper made them more expensive to produce than their face value. In 1982, the composition switched to primarily zinc with only a small amount (2.5%) of copper remaining.
