You mean a zinc penny, they haven't made solid copper coins in decades.
Yup, the change (no pun intended) was done in 1982. '81 and older are 96%? copper, '83 and newer are zinc with copper coating. '82 can be either (have to weigh it).
Huh? While absolutely true, there are more than enough pre-82 pennies in circulation that you can easily find the right one...
Yes there are plenty still in circulation, but many don't realize that modern pennies are not copper, only copper plated.
