However, the common penny has been made of a variety of materials over the years, with copper even being removed completely in 1943. Today, a penny is made of 97.5 percent zinc, and 2.5 percent copper. The first penny was minted in the United States in 1787. Benjamin Franklin, one of the United Statesâ founding fathers, suggested its original design. The composition of the first minted penny was 100 percent pure copper. This continued until the mid 1800s, when the penny underwent its first change in composition. The bronze penny was introduced in 1837, made of 95 percent copper and five percent zinc and tin.
