Before 1982, the penny was made of copper which is why they, unlike most other coins, don't look silver.

Nearly ninety nine per cent of the penny is made of zinc while the other per cent (at most) is made of copper.
If your penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating. Pennies made after 1983 weigh 2.5 grams. One pound of pennies weigh 453.6 grams. It would take 181.4 pennies to equal one pound.Pennies made from 1959 to 1982 weigh 3.11 grams so it would take 145.7 pennies from this era to make a pound.
