Are pennies dated for every day of every year?
Coins only carry the year of issue, not the day or month. If you are asking if they are minted every day of the year, that depends on demand. The recession of 2008 reduced the demand for coins so the Mint didn't have to run as many shifts. If you are asking if they're only dated for the year they're minted, that's normally the case. The only time coins carry a different date from the calendar is if the Mint is given authority by the government. The last time it happened to any great extent was when the composition of dimes, quarters, and halves was switched from silver to copper-nickel. To avoid creating instant rarities the Mint used up the last silver by making 1964-dated coins well into 1965, and 1965-dated coins were made from late '65 to mid '66.
